Tip

My adaption to this istmrc_emoticons.Delete 1 bunch of basil. Add equal amount of rocket and 1 Birdseye chilli. You can add more chilli, but this amount my kids eat no problems!This is great on pasta. The rocket gives it a great peppery taste and the chilli a little kick.

Other things I have done are added cashews or macadamias instead of pine nuts.

You can also add this to beschemal sauce in the EDC cookbook to pour over pasta.

You can also freeze it in an ice cube tray for use in pasta sauce!
