Event Description
Winter Minestrone with Cavalo Nero & Ricotta Pesto
This warming and satisfying soup brings a welcome start to a new year using seasonal veg with which we will make a lovely winter pesto. The beauty of this dish is that the vegetables are more or less interchangeable, the secret to it is the beans!
