A delicious and comforting dish made with lots of baby spinach, rocket, and fresh basil, perfect for your next pasta night. It takes less than 30 minutes in total and serves 4 generous portions.
1: Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook your pasta according to packet instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. Set aside 1 cup of the pasta water.
2: In the meantime, combine the pine nuts, almonds, garlic, baby spinach, rocket, basil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and lemon zest into a blender or food processor. Blitz until you reach the consistency that you like (i.e., smooth or chunky). With the motor running on low, begin to slowly pour in your olive oil and process until well combined.
3: Taste the pesto and season generously with sea salt and pepper. Transfer into the pot along with the cooked pasta and mix well. Add in a splash of pasta water as needed to make a silky sauce.
4: Serve immediately with fresh basil and a sprinkle of hemp seeds. Enjoy!
