Ingredients

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Parmesan: 20g parmesan, grated, plus extra for sprinkling on adult portion
  • Basil Leaf: around 8 basil leaves
  • Pasta: cooked pasta shapes, to serve
  • Frozen Pea: 50g frozen peas
  • Pine Nuts: 20g pine nuts, toasted

Directions

  1. Tip the peas into a food processor, along with the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil and olive oil. Blitz until smooth. You may need to use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times. It should be a really smooth consistency with no chunks of pine nut for babies.
  2. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions, then stir through a little pesto. Babies should need about one teaspoon for a serving.
  3. Cover and keep the remaining pesto in the fridge for up to 3 days.
