First recipe I’ve actually commented on, but can’t praise this enough. Leave at room temperature in the morning if possible to bring the flavour in the pesto out. 5 stars!

Made this for the first time today and am really impressed! Used wholewheat pasta to make it a bit healthier and had to substitute light marscapone for the creme faiche as didn't have any of the latter but was still very tasty. Will definitely make again.

This is a quick solution for lunchbox. Instead of basil from a jar I mashed some fresh basil with olive oil and pecorino romano, before stirring in crème fraîche. Green or kalamata olives are good addition, and don't forget to season with salt and freshly ground pepper
