I’m not kidding when I say that my son will eat pesto by the spoon full. He absolutely loves it and I don’t mind at all. It’s full of goodness for growing bodies. Greens, nuts, cheese, good oils… see, all good stuff.
Pesto is something I always have on hand, I know I can always whip up something quick and healthy and it will be delicious. I love to smother chicken and salmon in pesto for a quick midweek main meal and, of course, pasta and pizza – delicious. I also combine it with white beans or goats cheese for a quick dip to serve with raw veggies. It also makes a lovely addition to these mini pesto frittatas.
These frittatas are full of goodness with spinach and a good dollop of Barilla basil and rocket pesto. They are herby and fluffy and take no time to make. It’s all about that full herby flavour, right? Pack them into the kids’ lunch boxes, serve them for lunch, a snack or even a light dinner – super versatile. They are also super easy to make, so get the kids involved. I always find my son is much more willing to eat what he has helped prepare.
