RECIPE TIPS
NO BASIL - PESTO WILL DO

Can’t get hold of fresh basil? If you’ve

got a tub of pesto in the fridge, stir a

spoonful into the soup just before you serve it.

MAKE IT A BAKE

Ricotta & basil bake: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/

gas 6. Tip the pasta into a baking dish, season the

tomatoes, stir in the basil, then spoon on top.

In a bowl, combine the peas and beans, 250g tub

ricotta and a handful grated Parmesan. Dot the mix

over the pasta, scatter with more Parmesan, then

bake for 20-25 mins until golden.
