You can use this pesto however you like, not just for this dish! I made regular pasta for my husband, he needs the extra energy. I, on the other hand, work at a desk 8 hours a day so whenever I can lighten up meals, I usually do!  You could also use the hemp seed pesto as a spread or dip for raw veggies, it’s so flavourful and fresh you can’t really go wrong!
