Spinach Pesto Pasta with Cheese Frankfurters

There is nothing better than homemade pesto and nothing more comforting than cheesy pasta. So why not both?

The spinach base for this pesto gives it more colour and flavour. We used a mix of walnuts and hazelnuts instead of the classic pine nuts. The Greek yoghurt adds a dash of tartness to the flavourful basil and garlic.

The star ingredient, however, is the Emmental cheese-filled Frankfurter which brings the whole dish together. The savouriness and texture of it goes great with any pasta dish, making it a favourite of both children and adults.

For dietary alternatives, you can substitute the Frankfurters with our delicious seitan Vegan Hot Dogs. We also have delicious Halal options made with turkey! Everybody will go in for seconds on this easy to make, mouth-watering dinner! So get the sausages, make the pesto, bake it, and as the saying goes… Pasta e basta!
