Penne with wild garlic pesto

When it comes to Italian cuisine, there’s nothing better than a good portion of penne with homemade pesto. But this recipe has a special touch, because the pesto is made with fresh wild garlic, which I personally searched for and harvested in the woods. The combination of the intense flavours of the wild garlic and the nutty texture of the pesto gives the penne a unique flavour. This easy-to-prepare meal is perfect for a quick dinner or a meal with friends and family. Follow me on this culinary journey.
