Pasta, the favourite dish of many children.

Ideal recipe on a busy weekday. This time, we show you how to make a quick vegan pasta pesto that you can put lots of vegetables in. Don't let them hear it, you can also hide a lot of vegetables in our homemade sauce for the difficult eaters. That green camouflages well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Feast with this vegan pasta pesto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This vegan pasta pesto is one of the favourites at our house and every time I wonder if I have made enough. To hide vegetables in a pesto sauce, I choose white or green vegetables so that the sauce stays nice and green and appealing. Sometimes that's broccoli, other times fennel or fresh spinach. Much, much basil always does well with my children too. And you can prepare this sauce with any kind of pasta: from simple penne to stuffed ravioli, it's all equally delicious. Although wholemeal spaghetti is worth a separate mention: top combo with this sauce too. Wholemeal pasta is also in the Disk of Five<\/a> (white pasta does not). I went for stuffed ravioli as we still had this lying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pesto is often not vegetarian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Why isn't pesto actually vegan?\u2019 I get this very often. Well, pesto contains Parmesan cheese. The rennet found in cheese is usually extracted from the stomach of a dead calf. So traditional green pesto is not exactly vegan, not even completely vegetarian in other words. Since I don't approve of animal rennet being used for my food, I buy (or make) my green pesto vegan. Fortunately, you can get pesto vegan more and more easily in supermarkets these days. The vegan pasta from Costa Ligure<\/a> is a tip, but there is much more on offer. Check out this list from Bonus Vegan.<\/a> Making your own is, of course, the tastiest option!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ta-da: vegan pesto is very easy to make yourself!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vegan pesto can, of course, be very well made yourself. This takes a little more time, but with a hand blender or food processor it is a snap. Check out the recipe here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
