Spaghetti with pesto, rocket and feta

ByWendy Mallins

Spaghetti with pesto, rocket and feta is one of my favourite weeknight dinners and perfect for when you want a dish of something tasty but with very little effort.

It's deliciously flavoursome and very easy to prepare meaning dinner will be on the table in less than 15 minutes.

Make spaghetti, rocket, pesto and feta your way
  • Try different flavours of pesto or make your own fresh pesto.
  • Switch the rocket for spinach or pea shoots.
  • Don't fancy feta, then try torn mozzarella or blue cheese instead.
