EASY HOMEMADE PESTO PASTA

When time is short with the juggle of family life, Mimi’s Bowl shares quick and fuss free recipes that the whole family can enjoy.

Miriam from Mimi’s Bowl explains that this recipe for Broccoli Pesto is not just good on pasta, it is delicious with roast chicken, grilled fish and dolloped on top of home-made pizza. This version is nut free too.

Broccoli is a great choice when wanting to fill the little ones with their daily quota of greens. It has a gentle flavour and contains as much calcium as milk. Choose organic to ensure it’s pesticide free and try serving up in our mini tumblers for extra brownie points.
