this is a great alternate way to make pesto! it's like pesto only better...if only Tom was around when they invented it in the first place

Yum! But I’m intolerant of rapeseed oil. I guess sunflower would do?

[@ChefTomKerridge]

Yes Pirate, sunflower oil will be just as good!👍

Hi Tom, I am new in dopamine diet and just watched your video here and you cook pasta. Is it ok to eat pasta in this diet?

[@ChefTomKerridge]

Yes, you can diet and still eat pasta in moderation!🙌

[@jamestodd5052]

Pasta looks great! Please could you recommend a nut free alternative to pine nuts in pesto?? :D thanks

[@ChefTomKerridge]

Skip the pine nuts and increase the amount of parmesan and spinach slightly👍

[@jamestodd5052]

Thank you!

Maybe some seasoned, fried breadcrumbs or croutons right at the end so they're crunchy, not soggy?

[@richardwallace6313]

might try some pumpkin (or other squash) seeds if you can have those. Maybe a mix of sesame and other seeds (all sesame would be too much, I think)?

[@nevilleauffret]

Please could you tell me what you did with the broccoli stalk?
