Pasta with Spinach, Walnut and Basil Pesto

Make sure when using any nuts that they are fresh – they turn stale quickly even within their best before date, particularly once the pack is opened so buy small amounts, as and when you need them. If you aren–t that tolerant to wheat, try a spelt pasta, which can be easier to digest even though still a grain, or for a gluten-free option, rice pastas are readily available. If you have any leftover pesto, it will keep in the fridge for a few days, covered with a layer of oil, or freeze it.</
