There’s something really appealing about making a pesto pasta. We just love the vibrant colour and the fact it’s packed with tons of nutrition and fresh flavours.

This was so yummy (and nutritious)! As someone else mentioned, this will be a regular recipe in my house. Thanks!
This was easy to prepare in a few minutes and absolutely delicious! My partner loved them as well and that’s quite a challenge as he doesn’t like much of my vegan cooking. I cooked the brocolis a bit longer so they would be softer for him. I cannot find kale where I shop so I used chards instead. Thank you for this great recipe that will be used every two weeks or so in my home!
Thank you Coralie! Glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
This looks so yummy.. can we replace pine nuts with walnuts here ?
Yes definitely!
I was so excited to make this, thought it looked so good, and it was even better than I thought it would be! So flavorful, so easy, so delicious. I sprinkled some vegan parmesan cheese on top and it was amazing. I will be making this many many more times.
