    Cook's tips

    Any other leftover pesto works really well as an alternative to the roasted pepper and almond.

    Drinks recommendation

    Try an Argentinian Pinot Grigio for something elegant, but with plenty of lush fruit and a delicious, delicate purity: Argento Pinot Grigio 2009 Mendoza Argentina.
