Tagliatelle with Homemade Spinach and Pumpkin Seed Pesto Recipe

Making your own pesto is actually very easy, and the possible variations are endless and endlessly delicious too. As a basic rule, you need some green leaves (basil, or spinach here), a nut or seed (pine nuts, or pumpkin seeds here), parmesan cheese for traditional, non vegan pesto, garlic, olive oil and salt. Our homemade spinach and pumpkin seed pesto is served with elegant tagliatelle, some cooked vegetables and a little rich goat's cheese for a delicious and balanced meal. You could use other pasta shapes or gluten free pasta, or just leave out the goat's cheese for a vegan dish.
