Not as good

Have to agree with all the reviewers wanting the old receipe back. Not as tasty as a stand alone sauce and when mixed with tomato sauce (for Delia's famous Party Pasta dish) just doesn't have the same great effect as the old receipe. Sorry but will buy tescos version now which is more like the original waitrose receipe.

Fresh is best!

I would choose this over any jarred pesto anytime! It is delicous. I don't mind making my own pesto, it's quick but this is a second best thing!

This is the best pesto on offer, far better than any jar. Its fresh and all the ingredients are top quality.

Difficult...

... to get fresh pesto these days. Even our local Sainsbury's don't have it. I think this is very tasty!

Nigella Lawson's Pea & Pesto Soup

Nigella Lawson's Pea & Pesto Soup

Providing something hot to eat is the hardest challenge (on the run), and although flasks of soup provide scope for spillage and mess, I fell they are worth the risk. This soup - my all-time most-requested - has the bonus, too of being so simple to make, you can do it while you stumble about the kitchen at breakfast. While you can make it with pesto from a jar, the difference when you use the "fresh" stuff in a tub that you find in chiller cabinets in the supermarkets is astonishing. I think soups taste better made in a blender rather than a food processor, and it's best to use a blender which has a central plug in the lid that you can remove to stop pressure building up - which, in turn, prevents you getting soup all over you or your walls. That would not be a good start to the day.
