  Made this for a quick supper last night and it was delicious! I would normally give a "cheats" recipe 5 stars, but having added kale and wild garlic instead of spring greens and stirring through the pesto and some fresh basil before serving, I thought it was an absolute winner! Used garlic & herb tortellini instead of spinach & ricotta.

  Just served it up for lunch. Very nice and easy to cook. Just added some mushrooms, spring onions and a little mustard to spice it up a little. I defiantly would be making this again and great for those vegetarians out there!

  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.

  Lovely! I added spring onions and lots of spinach. The pesto at the end just finishes it off beautifully. I also used chicken stock which I think added lots of flavour. Very quick and easy to make for something that it quite healthy!
