Edamame Basil Pesto Rigatoni

This is the kind of pasta that feels bright, creamy, and nourishing all at once. Edamame adds a big protein boost, basil keeps things fresh and aromatic, and lemon brings that perfect zing. It’s a lighter, greener twist on classic pesto — extra fibre, extra protein, and ready in under 20 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights when you still want something that feels special.

Added a couple of handfuls of raw freshly cooked spinach as it need using up. Really delicious and a generous portion so will freeze some for another day 😊

Delicious! Needs some pasta water in the blender when making the pesto. I used less lemon zest and lemon juice and it was great. I had to substitute pine nuts for the sunflower seeds but was still gorgeous
