  This was great - had it hot as a quick after work dinner. Used red pesto first time as it was all I had and it was much nicer than when I made it again with green pesto!

  Excellent. So quick to make in the mornings before leaving for work. Had never thought about using fresh pasta this way. I used some wild mushroom tortellini which worked ok, and rocket pesto, rather than basil.

  This is great! I'm tempted to add a spot of feta next time and to use tomato pesto. I whipped it up this morning for my husbands lunch and will have the rest myself.

  This looks yummy. I'm gonna make this tonight. I've got some fresh asparigus that I'm gonna flash fry perhaps with a little crushed garlic to bring in more flavour and will finish off with grated parmesan or pecorino mmm.

  I've just made this for my lunch to take to work, and added a bit of fresh thyme. Really nice!

  Really yummy lunch for work. I always look for some kind of ham or bacon filled pasta to bring a bit of meaty flavour into it.

  This makes a great lunchbox lunch and it's very quick to prepare in the mornings! I prefer red pesto and asparagus to green pesto and broccolli and have tried several varieties of tortellini which makes it very versatile.

  This is a great recipe, I used green beans instead of broccoli and added a bit of feta and toasted pine nuts, delicious

  Tasty, not the most amazing thing ever but nice for lunch. Used normal broccoli cut up small (much cheaper), un-toasted pine nuts, and Bacon, Cheese and Tomato filled pasta. Will make again.

  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.

  I used Ricotta and Spinach Tortellini but followed the rest of the recipe minus the pine nuts. Loved it!
