This pesto pasta is full of good goodness and has a protein boost from the hemp seeds. You could serve it with a poached egg for even more protein and richness but’s it’s satisfying just as it is.
Sundried Tomato and Roast Capsicum Pesto Pasta
Pesto pasta with a difference. That difference being that it’s red, obviously. The nut I’ve used is roasted almonds and they’re so yummy with the sweet roast capsicum and intense sundried tomatoes.
15 MINUTE PESTO BAKED SALMON
These salmon fillets are super easy and full of flavour. I’ve used a 3 herb pesto as it’s my current favourite but you could use whatever your favourite is. They also go perfectly with that potato salad I posted earlier in the week!
PASTA WITH A CRUSHED PEA AND BASIL PESTO
There’s nothing better than a quick and easy pesto pasta for dinner. By adding another green vegetable to your pesto you’re able to get more vegetables in this simple and easy meal. Plus pea, basil, lemon and parmesan is yummm.
GREEN CHICKEN PESTO SALAD BOWL
I love a salad bowl. Clearly. And at this time of the year a grilled chicken salad is what I feel like eating most of the time. This is also delicious with a boiled egg or some haloumi (seared in a non stick pan) instead of the chicken if you’re into a more vegetarian vibe.
RED LENTIL PASTA WITH PESTO, SUN DRIED TOMATOES AND PUMPKIN
I have to share this with you because I’m obsessed with red lentil pasta at the moment. It’s super filling, has great flavour and is a dream with this simple sauce. Even if you’re not gluten free it makes a nice change and is an easy way for adding more protein t vegetarian pasta dishes. It’s just an all round win.
PUMPKIN, FREEKAH AND BUFFALO MOZZARELLA SALAD WITH BASIL PESTO
This salad is relatively simple to make so is the perfect thing to prep at the start of the week for a few lunches. With the pesto, mozzarella and caramelised pumpkin the flavours pack a punch and make for a satisfying meal.
RAINBOW NOODLE SALAD WITH CORIANDER AND PEANUT PESTO
This baby packs a flavour punch + is filled with loads of veg to help you get your daily fix. You could make it with any noodles you have on hand and it will work out just fine. I know I’ve posted a few noodle based recipes lately but that’s because they’re so good for this warm weather we’ve been having, a 30 degree spring days (celsius for you international peeps) is crazy for Melbourne, so maybe I’ve gone a little crazy for cold salads too. Just maybe.
KALE AND BASIL SUNFLOWER SEED PESTO
This guy packs a lot of punch, both in nutrients and in flavour. It is fantastic added to pasta, pizzas, sandwiches, or with seafood or meat. It’s also good just with some avocado on toast or rice crackers. Seriously yum. I suggest you use a mortar and pestle for the sunflower seeds (or everything if you have a big one) as I find you end up with a better texture overall but I guess it depends on your food processor!
