Steps:
- Cook the fusilli and bow ties separately in a large pot of boiling salted water for 10 to 12 minutes until each pasta is al dente. Drain and toss into a bowl with the olive oil. Cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, puree the pesto, spinach, and lemon juice. Add the mayonnaise and puree. Add the pesto mixture to the cooled pasta and then add the Parmesan, peas, pignoli, salt, and pepper. Mix well, season to taste, and serve at room temperature.
- Place the walnuts, pignoli, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process for 15 seconds. Add the basil leaves, salt, and pepper. With the processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until the pesto is thoroughly pureed. Add the Parmesan and puree for a minute. Use right away or store the pesto in the refrigerator or freezer with a thin film of olive oil on top.
- Notes: Air is the enemy of pesto. For freezing, pack it in containers with a film of oil or plastic wrap directly on top with the air pressed out.
- To clean basil, remove the leaves, swirl them in a bowl of water, and then spin them very dry in a salad spinner. Store them in a closed plastic bag with a slightly damp paper towel. As long as the leaves are dry they will stay green for several days.
CRUNCHY LEMON-PESTO GARDEN SALAD
I love using vegetables straight from the garden in preparing this salad. If I pick the squash and cucumbers early enough, their skins are so tender that there's no need to remove them! Best of all, it's easily adaptable-any fresh veggie from the garden can be swapped in with delicious results! -Carmell Childs, Clawson, Utah

Steps:
- Cook the pasta following pack instructions, then drain and toss in 1 tbsp of the oil. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool, tossing occasionally so it doesn't stick.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan over a low heat, constantly moving them for 4-5 mins until browned. When the pasta has completely cooled, toss through the pesto, toasted pine nuts, remaining olive oil, basil, lemon zest and juice, and the tomatoes, sweetcorn, peas and rocket, if using. Season, then scatter over the parmesan and serve.
