I prepared the Thermomix Asparagus Pesto last week and I froze the leftover in glass jars.
I used the pesto to season pasta that both my partner and I loved, I think it’s also perfect for those who don’t tolerate the taste of asparagus very well.
Another idea could be: add the Thermomix Asparagus Pesto to the béchamel sauce to make a more indulgent version of the vegetable lasagna.
If you don’t have pine nuts, you can easily substitute them with almonds or cashews as I did.
I just wish you a good day and leave you with the recipe to prepare the Thermomix Asparagus Pesto.
See you at the next recipe!
