Rocket, Chilli and Basil Pesto Recipe- Making The Most Of Leftovers

Making good use of this week's leftovers- My Rocket and Chili Pesto

I love Italian food and pasta is a staple part of my diet as a cyclist as my body has a high need for carbohydrate. Pasta is hard work on it's own and needs a great tasting sauce to really make it a good meal. That's why I love Pesto. It adds an intense flavour to pasta dishes. It's easy to buy jars but there's nothing better than making your own pesto- Especially as you can add some elements from the fridge to give it some additional flavour intensity like chili peppers for some fire and rocket for a peppery kick.

Cheddar and Pesto Pasta Frittatas- Quick Carbohydrate Fixes

My cheap and easy cheddar and pesto pasta frittatas will make a great lunchtime treat or paired with a salad will make a great filler for dinner. I find them great for a complex carbohydrate reload after a long training ride on the bike too.
