Broccoli and Cheese Pesto

I am always looking for ways to make vegetables more fun and interesting so dediced to give broccoli a go for a pasta dish and was very happy how it turned out. the children really liked it as well so that is why it is going on the the blog!

Makes enough for 6

1          head of broccoli

75 gr   grated hard cheese eg Gouda, cheeder or parmasan

1  tbs   oil

1 lemon zest and juice

salt and pepper

Cut up the raw broccoli stalks and florets and put in a blender along with all the other ingriendents but not the oil. Whizz on a high speed till a pasta add the oil still sticky if you need more add it but you can also add a bit of water. it is now ready to use.

works really well with pasta or rice also a spoonful in a bit of mashed potato, a great way to get small kids used to new flavours.
