  • Cook pasta according to the cooking instructions. When the pasta is ready, drain, run under the cold water to stop it from cooking further and toss in a little glug of olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Set aside.
  • In the meantime, place cherry tomatoes on a roasting dish, drizzle with 1tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt & pepper and roast in the oven for 8-10mins or until the tomatoes have turned slightly brown. Set aside.
  • To prepare the pesto, pulse all pesto ingredients in a food processor until you reach the desired consistency. I prefer mine a little chunky, so it still has a little crunch to it.
