Cashew Pesto Pasta
Pesto pasta is one of my all time favourite meals, it’s my absolute go-to comfort food! So I decided to experiment with a cashew pesto to get a delicious variation on this classic pasta dish. The cashews and the avocado in the pesto add the best creaminess, whilst the basil and lemon add an amazing zing; it’s the best combination of flavours! It’s also such a quick and simple recipe too, the perfect weeknight supper!

Place 50g of the cashews into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds until they’re broken up. Toast them in a frying pan placed over a medium heat until they go golden brown. Once golden, leave to one side to sprinkle on top of the pasta.
