A perfect lunchbox dish, keeping our December weekdays cheery.
Fried halloumi with oregano, orzo & pesto – serves 4
350g orzo
15g oregano, leaves picked
3 tbsp olive oil
250g halloumi, sliced
200g plum cherry tomatoes, halved
handful black olives, chopped
140g tub fresh pesto
Bring a pan of salty water to the boil and cook the orzo according to the pack instructions.
Meanwhile, mix the oregano in a small bowl with the oil and brush some over the halloumi.
Heat a non-stick frying pan and fry the halloumi for a few minutes on each side or until golden.
Drain the orzo and mix in a large bowl with the tomatoes, olives and pesto, then season. Divide into lunchboxes, then top with the halloumi and drizzle over the rest of the oregano oil.
This version has fresh pesto stirred through the béchamel sauce which is a variation we’d not come across before, and it’s very good indeed. So good we may add any leftover pesto to dishes like this in the future; it brings a burst of Spring to a rich dish.
Wine Suggestion: We were uncertain what to open alongside this dish given the many components, but felt we needed to stick to an Italian. Freshness to balance the béchamel, depth for the layered richness, but a lightness of being to complement the basil pesto. We had a bottle of Pira Langhe Nebbiolo on the shelf and we’re happy to report it was a good match.
Lasagne with pesto – serves 6 to 8
3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1 celery stick, finely chopped
500g beef mince
1 glass of red wine
700ml passata
1 tbsp tomato purée
12 fresh lasagne sheets
FOR THE BÉCHAMEL SAUCE
100g butter
100g plain flour
1 litre full-fat milk
¼ tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
100g freshly grated Parmesan
FOR THE PESTO
40g basil leaves
1 garlic clove, peeled
30g pine nuts
120ml extra virgin olive oil
20g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large saucepan and cook the onions, carrot and celery for 5 minutes over a medium heat. Add the beef mince and cook for 5 minutes, stirring and breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned all over. Season and leave to cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the wine, stir well and buble for about 3 minutes, then add the passata and tomato purée, lower the heat and continue to cook for an hour, uncovered, until you have a thick sauce. Taste for seasoning after 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the pesto by putting the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor. Pour in the oil and blitz until smooth, then transfer to a bowl and fold in the cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
To make the béchamel, melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the cold milk, reduce the heat and cook for 10 minutes, whisking constantly. When the béchamel is thickened, stir in half the Parmesan, the nutmeg and the pesto. Season and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas mark 4.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of béchamel over the bottom of a deep ovenproof dish. You can use your lasagne sheets to get the right sized dish, you need to make 3 layers of lasagne sheets. Lay a third of the lasagne sheets over the béchamel, then spread over half the meat sauce and top with another thin layer of béchamel.
Lay another third of the lasagne sheets on top and cover with the rest of the meat sauce. Add the final layer of lasagne and spread the remaining béchamel on top, completely covering the lasagne sheets. Sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan and grind some black pepper over the top.
Cook on the bottom shelf of the oven for 30 minutes, then move to the middle shelf and increase the temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook for another 15 minutes or until browned and bubbling.
Remove the lasagne from the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

We regular base our dinner on packets of fresh gnocchi. They’re perfect for when you haven’t much time.
Gnocchi with peas, pesto and spinach – serves 2
50g baby spinach
100g frozen peas, defrosted
4 tbsp fresh pesto
3 tbsp crème fraîche
300g pack gnocchi (you can use a plain variety or one with spinach)
Put the defrosted peas, the spinach and a splash of water into a large frying pan. Season, then heat, stirring, until the spinach has wilted.
Add the pesto and crème fraîche, and gently heat through.
Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in lots of boiling salty water. As they rise to the surface, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and add to the spinach pan.
Toss it all together, then serve.
(Original recipe by Janine Ratcliffe in Olive Magazine, August 2018.)
Yummy sauce for using up leftover pesto and perfect for mid-week.
Green Spaghetti Sauce – serrves 4
400g spaghetti
100g baby spinach
140g frozen peas
a small bunch of basil, leaves picked
3 tbsp green pesto
150ml single cream
50g Parmesan, grated, plus extra to serve
Cook the spaghetti in lots of salty water for the time stated on the packet.
Meanwhile, put the spinach and peas in a bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Leave for 3 minutes, or until the peas are tender, then drain well.
Tip the peas and spinach into a food processor, then add the basil, pesto, cream and Parmesan. Whizz to make a smooth sauce.
Drain the pasta, but reserve a mugful of the cooking water, then return to the pan. Pour over the green sauce and place over a low heat to cook for a few minutes, you want the sauce to cling to the spaghetti. Add a little pasta water if it looks dry, season to taste and serve with extra Parmesan.
We couldn’t find cougettes to plant this year so we haven’t been cooking them nearly as often. Definitely one of the vegetables we miss the most in the colder months. You can of course buy a good-quality fresh pesto if you don’t feel like making it, though there is something very satisfying about pounding your own.
Wine Suggestion: We looked for a wine with a herbal streak and remembered the Ch Vignelaure La Source white from Provence. Made mostly of Vermentino with a dash of Semillon for body and Sauvignon Blanc for a crisp grassiness, this has both the body to work with the food and freshness to remind us of summer. Grapefruit and peach flavours, hints of white blossoms and a southern French, sassy finish.
Courgette & broad bean risotto with pesto – serves 4
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp butter
350g courgettes, cut into small dice
a pinch of chilli flakes
a pinch of grated nutmeg
2 scallions, finely sliced
zest of ½ a lemon
150g risotto rice
75ml dry white wine
750g warm vegetable stock or chicken stock
80g broad beans, podded and blanched for a minute, then skins removed
20g Parmesan, grated, plus extra to serve
FOR THE PESTO:
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp toasted pine nuts
a large handful of basil leaves, plus extra to garnish
a handful of mint leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp grated Parmesan
If you are making the pesto, do that first. Crush the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the toasted pine nuts and pound to a coarse paste, then tear in the basil and mint, pound again to break them down. Stir in the oil and cheese and season to taste.
To make the risotto, warm the butter and oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the courgettes, chilli flakes and nutmeg and season. Fry for about 5 minutes or until the courgettes have softened and turned golden. Add the scallions and lemon zest and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes until translucent and coated in fat.
Add the wine and cook until almost evaporated, then add the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring until absorbed. Keep adding stock for 20-30 minutes, stirring all the time, until the rice is tender.
Stir in the broad beans and warm through for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then swirl in about half of the pesto (keep the rest for something else).
Serve in warm bowls with basil leaves and extra cheese sprinkled on top.
Try this for a tasty weekend brunch dish. Serve with toasted sourdough for mopping.
Baked green eggs – serves 2
100g baby spinach, roughly chopped
4 tbsp fresh pesto
100ml double cream
1 tbsp finely grated gruyère
2 eggs
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
Mix together the spinach, pesto, cream and some seasoning, and tip into 2 shallow ovenproof dishes.
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
Create a hollow in each dish with a spoon, then gently break in the eggs. Bake the dishes in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
This soup really couldn’t be simpler and it’s nice and filling for lunchtime.
Tomato Soup with Chickpeas, Orzo & Pesto – serves 4
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp tomato purée
400g tin chopped tomatoes
400g tin chickpeas
150g orzo pasta
700ml vegetable stock
2 tbsp basil pesto
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and celery and fry for 10-15 minutes, or until starting to soften, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add all of the other ingredients, except for the pesto and remaining oil, and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until the orzo is tender. Season to taste and divide between warm bowls. Stir in the remaining olive oil with the pesto, then drizzle over the soup.
We occasionally go to Lidl, when they have those country promotions on, for the white anchovies in the fridge section. Last time it was a Spanish promotion and we also grabbed a tin of artichokes which we used tonight for a mid-week pasta dish with spaghetti and pesto.
The pesto we used was an oregano version that we made in the summer and stashed in the freezer. Very happy diners!
Wine Suggestion: Artichokes are hard to match as they make most grape varieties taste metallic. However, Grüner Veltliner with its higher umami savouriness, really works. We opened a bottle of Höpler’s GV grown in Burgenland which is better known for it’s reds and sweet wines and goes to show how a great site always wins. Their GV vineyard reliably produces delightful wines and the current vintage is a gem; vibrant and fresh with hints of white pepper, pears and lemony citrus zest.
Spaghetti with artichokes & pesto – serves 4
350g spaghetti
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
4 tbsp green pesto
50g Parmesan, grated, plus extra to serve
390g tin artichokes, drained, quartered and dried
50g pine nuts
Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until golden brown, then set aside.
Cook the spaghetti in lots of boiling salty water according to the time given on the pack.
Meanwhile, gently mix the eggs, milk, pesto, Parmesan, and artichokes, together in a bowl, then season.
Drain the cooked spaghetti in a colander and return to the hot saucepan. Immediately add the egg and pesto mixture and stir gently until it forms a silky sauce.
Stir in the toasted pine nuts and serve in warm bowls with some extra Parmesan and a drizzle of your best olive oil if you like.
Our Oregano plants have gone mad, so we thought it a shame not to use them more. Taking inspiration from the Classic Basil Pesto and with a little adjustment this is of course good on pasta. It also really comes into it’s own on top of roast chicken: simply roast some chicken thighs and drumsticks and top with this when cooked.
Oregano Pesto – enough to serve 2 with pasta
25g pine nuts
25g oregano leaves
1 garlic clove, crushed
50ml olive oil
15g Parmesan
Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until lightly coloured, then remove from the pan and leave to cool.
Pound the oregano in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt, some coarse ground black pepper and the garlic. When the oregano has broken down, add the pine nuts and pound until finely crushed. Stir in the oil and Parmesan, then season to taste. Cover with a layer of oil and store in the fridge.
Basil has come into season and is plentiful so we had to make a pesto. There’s likely to be a second batch next week too! We make pesto in a pestle and mortar but you could also use a food processor.

It’s anything with pesto in our house at the minute. This dish is definitely suitable for adults too.
Wine Suggestion: We would suggest a good Fiano from Campani in the south of Italy with freshness and fruit that isn’t too ripe and tropical. By avoiding over-ripeness you get more stone fruit with a fresh vibrancy. Alongside the rich risotto and herby pesto it’s a great match.
Risotto Bianco with Pesto – serves 6
1.1 litres hot chicken or vegetable stock
2 tbsp olive oil
a knob of butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
½ a head of celery, finely chopped
400g risotto rice
2 wineglasses of dry white vermouth or dry white wine
70g butter
115g freshly grated Parmesan
fresh pesto
small handful of pine nuts – toasted
small basil leaves (to serve)
Put the olive oil and knob of butter into a pan, then add the onion, garlic and celery, and cook gently for about 15 minutes without colouring. When the vegetables have softened turn the heat up and add the rice.
Keep stirring for about a minute or until the rice looks translucent. Add the vermouth and continue to stir.
When the vermouth has disappeared, add a ladle of the hot stock and a good pinch of salt. Turn the heat down to a simmer and keep adding ladles of the stock, stirring all the time, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding another. This should take about 15 minutes. After this taste the rice to check if it’s cooked. If not, keep adding stock until the rice is soft with a little bite. If you run out of stock you can add a some boiling water. Season.
Remove the risotto from the heat and add the butter and Parmesan. Stir well, then cover the pan and leave to sit for 2 minutes. Eat immediately garnished with a spoonful of fresh pesto, some toasted pine nuts, a few basil leaves and some extra Parmesan.
(Original recipe from Jamie’s Italy by Jamie Oliver, Michael Joseph, 2005.)
Flavours of late summer and something different to use up fresh pesto. We loved this dish, so light but really tasty. Serve with salad and bread.
Wine Suggestion: We’d suggest a juicy Tempranillo with a touch of oak, like the Paco Garcia Rioja Seis; a modern style that doesn’t need food unlike some other Rioja wines. Very happily served alongside a dish like this.
Blistered peppers, pomodorini, torn mozzarella & pesto – serves 2
2 large red peppers
12 pomodorini or baby plum tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 ball of buffalo mozzarella, torn into chunks
4 tbsp fresh pesto
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
Cut the peppers in half lengthways, remove the seeds and rub all over with a little olive oil and seasoning.
Toss the tomatoes with some olive oil, seasoning and the garlic .
Heat a heavy oven-proof pan until hot. Put the peppers, cut-side down, into the pan and sear until blackened along the edges. Turn them over and add the tomatoes to the pan, then roast in the oven for about 10 minutes.
Put the tomatoes inside the peppers along with the chunks of mozzarella. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil, then return to the oven until the mozzarella has started to melt. Put a tablespoon of pesto on each stuffed pepper before serving.
Serve with salad and bread.
(Original recipe by Alastair Hendy in Olive Magazine, August 2014.)
This couldn’t be easier, especially if you use fresh pesto (you can use the recipe below if you’ve lots of basil growing). Perfect for a late summer lunch.
Wine Suggestion: We find we gravitate to dry rosé quite often during summer as the good ones tend to refresh and revive us in the warmth and also complement summer foods. Today it was the Château St Jacques d’Albas Chapelle en Rose, predominantly Grenache and Mourvedre but with a touch of Roussanne from Minervois. Excellent.
Tomato Tart with Pesto & Mascarpone – serves 4
1 ready-rolled puff pastry sheet
6-8 ripe vine tomatoes, thinly sliced
4 tbsp pesto (see recipe below)
2 tbsp mascarpone
green salad leaves, to serve
Heat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/Gas 6.
Unroll the pastry on to a baking sheet (it usually rolls out easier if you take it out of the fridge for 10 minutes before using). Score a border 1cm from the edge and prick inside the border with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
Gently squash down the middle of the pastry. Spread the pesto inside the border, dot over the mascarpone, then layer the tomato on top. Season well and bake for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked and the mascarpone has melted.
Decorate with some fresh basil leaves and serve some dressed salad leaves.
(Original recipe by Paula Stain in BBC Olive Magazine, August 2005.)
To make pesto:
Put a large bunch of fresh basil leaves (minimum 50g) into a food processor with 2 peeled garlic cloves, 25g of toasted pine nuts and 3 tbsp of olive oil. Blend to a paste, then slowly add 125ml through the feeder tube. Transfer to a bowl and fold in 50g of freshly grated Parmesan, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep refrigerated in a clean jam jar covered with a layer of olive oil until needed.
Our fabulous friends have a weekender in the country with loads of space for growing herbs and veg. We are the very happy recipients when there’s more produce than one family can eat and we put it to good use. So if you have a prolific bed/windowsill with parsley and basil growing you should make this delicious variation on classic pesto. It’s especially good with roast chicken (drumsticks for us) but would also be nice with fish or vegetables.
Pistachio Pesto – serves 4
50g pistachios
25g flatleaf parsley leaves
25g basil leaves
1 garlic clove, crushed
zest and juice of a lemon
100ml olive oil
Put the nuts in a bowl and cover with just-boiled water. Leave for a few minutes then drain and tip onto a clean tea towel. Give the nuts a good rub with the tea towel and skins should slip off. Throw the skins away and save the bright green nuts.
Put the nuts in a dry frying pan and toast over a medium heat until lightly coloured all over and smelling fab. Keep a watchful eye as they can turn from toasty to burnt in an instant. Put the nuts on a plate to cool.
Put the herbs and pistachios in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped (you could pound in a pestle and mortar but parsley is much more difficult to pound than basil so we recommend the processor if you have one). Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse briefly – you want to leave a bit of texture. Taste and season. Cover with oil and put in the fridge until needed.
(Original recipe from ‘The Hairy Bikers’ Mediterranean Adventure’ by Si King & Dave Myers, Seven Dials, 2017.)
So this is a bit of a treat and yet has very few ingredients and takes very little time to prepare. Hail to that.
Wine Suggestion: fresher and bit more rustic than Bordeaux is Bergerac, into the Dordogne River to the east. The best vineyards are in the Pecharmant AC and have Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot as the dominant varieties. We found some unoaked wines on our last trip from Domaine des Costes, Cuvée Tradition which, while simple, had a joy and juiciness that perfectly complemented the beef, pesto and rocket.
Italian Seared Beef – serves 2
1 tbsp pine nuts, toasted in a dry pan until golden
250g rump steak
2 heaped teaspoons pesto
40g rocket
15g Parmesan cheese
Put a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Cut the fat of the steak, finely chop the fat and put into the hot pan to crisp up. Cut the sinew off the rump and season with salt and black pepper. Put the steak between two sheets of greaseproof paper and bash with a rolling pin until it is an even thickness of about 1 cm. Scoop out the crispy fat and set aside, then sear the steak in the hot pan for 1 minute per side or until golden but still pink in the middle (as per photo). Remove the steak to a board to rest.
Spread the pesto over a serving plate. Thinly slice the steak at an angle and scatter over the plate. Pile the rocket on top, then scatter over the pine nuts and crispy fat (you don’t have to eat the fat if you would rather not – we’ll have it!). Mix the resting juices with a tbsp of good olive oil and drizzle over. Shave the Parmesan over to serve.
(Original recipe from 5 Ingredients by Jamie Oliver, Michael Joseph, 2017.)
This is an old favourite that we make every summer. The chopped up mushrooms give it a fantastic earthy flavour and it works really well with barbecues and on picnics.
Tasty Couscous Salad – serves 4
200g couscous
400ml boiling vegetable stock (we still use Swiss Marigold Bouillon Powder)
250g cherry tomatoes, halved
175g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
half a bunch of scallions, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
3-4 tbsp pesto
a handful of toasted pine nuts, almonds or rough chopped hazelnuts
a generous handful of basil
Put the couscous into a bowl and pour over the hot stock. Cover with cling film and leave to soak for 5 minutes.
When the 5 minutes is up, fork the couscous through to break up any lumps, then stir in the oil and pesto, then tip in all the veg and nuts and tear in the basil. Taste and season.
Simple as that!
(Original recipe from BBC Good Food Magazine, August, 2002.)
Oh this is soooo easy and has become a regular feature in our house at lunchtime on Saturdays. Also adored by the resident 3 year old which is always a bonus. Maybe save the wine for after 7pm 😉
Cheesy Tuna Pesto Bake – serves 4 generously and the leftovers are good
400g penne pasta
200g tin or jar of good quality tuna in olive oil
190g jar of pesto (we find that off the shelf rather than out of the fridge works better here as the fresh-made pestos make the dish a bit oily)
100g cheddar, grated
250g cherry tomatoes, halved
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the pack.
Meanwhile empty the contents of the tin of tuna (including the oil) into a large bowl and add the pesto. Mash together with a wooden spoon. Stir in about a third of the cheese and all the tomatoes. Heat the grill to high.
Drain the pasta and stir into the bowl with the tuna and pesto mixture, then tip into a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Put the dish under the grill for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has just melted.
A really quick and easy lasagne full of Spring flavours. You don’t have to buy fresh pesto from the fridge as this tends to be more oily and makes this dish very rich; we successfully used a jar from a shelf instead.
Wine suggestion: A grassy European styled Sauvignon Blanc which tends to have a longer, if cooler, growing season is a good match. Avoid the big flavoured Sauvignon’s with the kiwi / tinned asparagus flavours that you might typically find from NZ and Chile as these flavours clash a bit. Exceptions to this always exist like the Dog Point Marlborough Sauvignon, but a good Touraine or Sancerre would be our match.
Pesto Lasagne – serves 4 to 6
190g jar of pesto
500g tub mascarpone
200g bag spinach, roughly chopped
250g frozen peas
small pack of basil
small pack of mint
12 fresh lasagne sheets
85g Parmesan, finely grated
50g pine nuts
Green salad & garlic bread to serve
Heat the oven to 180C/160 fan/gas 4.
Put the pesto, half the mascarpone and 250ml vegetable stock in a saucepan. Heat, stirring, until smooth and bubbling. Add the spinach and peas and cook for another few minutes until the spinach has wilted and the peas have defrosted. Add the herbs and season but go easy with the salt.
Put a third of this pesto mixture into the base of a baking dish (approx. 18 x 25cm). Top with 4 lasagne sheets, then repeat with 2 more layers of sauce and lasagne sheets, finishing with a layer of pasta. Mix some milk into the remaining mascarpone to make a sauce consistency, season then pour over the top of the dish. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and pine nuts, then bake for 35-40 minutes or until brown on the top and bubbling. Scatter over a few basil leaves before serving.
(Original recipe from BBC Good Food Magazine, February 2014.)
Our garden is producing copious quantities of green beans, so we’re eating them with everything at the moment. This is also a great dish for using leftover roast chicken breasts – the legs, thighs and wings are more popular in our house!
Wine Suggestion: We really enjoyed a glass of the Domaine d’Albas Blanc with this dish, a less than usual combination of Vermentino, Viognier and Roussanne that really works; fresh and textured with nice stone fruit flavours and hints of exotic spice while remaining thirst quenching and moreish. From Minervois it is yet again another white from southern France that we’ve tasted recently showing how good white wines can be from this area – they’re often overlooked in favour of the reds. In good vineyards and with the right producer we’ve had a few crackers like this one, so we suggest keeping an eye out for more.
Creamy chicken & green beans pesto pasta – serves 4
400g penne pasta
250g green beans, trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch of scallions, finely sliced
2 large roast chicken breasts, shredded
5 tbsp pesto
3 tbsp double cream
a handful of grated Parmesan
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the pack and add the green beans 6 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Drain and reserve a few tablespoons of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onions for a couple of minutes or until soft. Add the shredded chicken and warm through before stirring in the pesto and cream. Add the cooked pasta and beans to the chicken mixture and add a little of the cooking water to make a sauce. Season and serve with the Parmesan.
