  Absolutely delicious. I advise a mortar and pestle for the pesto instead of the food processor though. It gives the pesto a much more granular taste.

  Gran Padano is made with animal rennet, so it�s definitely NOT suitable for vegetarians.

  Made a variation on this last night. Shelled fresh peas, also lightly fried three finely chopped spring onions and half a finely sliced courgette in a little oil. Added lots of fresh mint to a supermarket pesto and combined the lot! Topped the spaghetti with tiny cubes of feta which set off the flavours of the mint and the sweetness of the peas beautifully. Yum!
