  Funny - this is my emergency storecupboard dinner. My kids love it, with either green or red pesto and some toasted pinenuts sprinkled on top too. Didn't think you need an actual recipe for it though ;) Although seeing it on here will make me feel better when I serve it up for dinner - "no complains - the recipe is on BBC Good Food!" lol :)

  I think for people that aren't as confident in the kitchen, simple recipes like this with clear guidelines and amounts are great. We all had to start somewhere.

  from a 16 year old's perspective, I never knew you could make something this quick and simple and it still taste this amazing. I added some button mushrooms! :)

  Pesto is made of parmesan cheese: Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano is an EU Protected Designation of Origin product and has to be made using calf rennet, so it�s definitely NOT suitable for vegetarians.
