We never realized how easy pesto was to make at home until we tried to make a low FODMAP Pesto Recipe version. You need a food processor but other than that it’s quick to make and you may never buy it from a shop again.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Serves: 6 people

Pesto Recipe Ingredients:

• 2 tbsps garlic olive oil
• Salt
• Ground black pepper

• 1 handful grated parmesan
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 squeeze of lemon juice if desired

• 1 handful crumbled feta cheese

3. Steam the green beans until al dente.
4. Cook pasta until al dente and drain (catching 2 tbsp of drained fluid) .
