Homemade Pesto with Yorkshire Pasta
By: @yorkshirepasta
This is a fabulous pesto recipe that I have pinched from a close friend. It is one of the first dishes that we ate in the early days when testing our Yorkshire Pasta concept on friends and it has remained a firm favourite. This dish can be enjoyed hot or cold, simply leave your pasta to cool before adding the pesto to it for the later. It will keep overnight in the fridge but be sure to keep in an airtight container to preserve the vibrant green colour.
A super fast dressing with fabulous results.
