Homemade walnut and pepper pesto.... not quite (but whose checking)! I'm not doing much cooking at the moment so it was a case of what do I have on hand? I've had a jar of Jamie Oliver Walnut Red Pepper Pasta sitting in my cupboard forever so that was the star of the show. I popped some leftover sausages in the oven and then cooked some spaghetti. I mixed the cooked pasta with the pesto, a bit of the cooking water, arugula and cut up sausages. Then I topped with parm and a side of steamed green beans. Easy, quick and tasty!
