BEETROOT AND ALMOND PESTO TAGLIATELLES
We are most familiar with basil pesto, but we can make delicious flavoured pesto-type sauces to suit our preferences and the season with vegetables and nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, etc.) as a base.
Spinach, radish or carrot tops, fresh basil or parsley... or beetroot, as shown here, in the form of a purée, carrots, celery, etc... The variations are infinite.
I have been working for almost a year with Priméal, an organic food brand (cereals, flour, seeds, tomato sauce, etc.). You probably know this brand if, like me, you regularly visit healthfood stores. You can also find my recipes directly on the Priméal blog.
