My rocket and walnut pesto is fresh, peppery and full of flavour, with Pecorino, lemon zest and olive oil balancing the richness of the walnuts beautifully. I love this easy homemade pesto when I’ve got leftover rocket in the fridge, because it comes together in minutes and works with so many meals. Toss it through pasta, spoon it over salmon, spread it onto toast or use it anywhere you’d normally reach for basil pesto. It’s quick, practical and far too good to waste on just one dish.
