On Wednesday 26th April, as part of our Edible Garden unit in DT, the Owls class made their own pesto. The children got to practise many skills, such as crushing garlic, snipping basil and grating cheese. What they enjoyed most was crushing the ingredients with Mrs Marshall’s pestle and mortar! Our cook, Rachel, very kindly cooked some pasta for us to enjoy with our pesto. Our cooking was very successful and even our fussiest eaters agreed that the pesto was delicious! Many of them said that they would be making it at home for their parents!
Georgia was very excited that they had made pesto (at home it usually comes out of a jar…) and thoroughly enjoyed the pesto pasta, even Grandad said it was delicious! She couldn’t wait to show me the recipe to make it again. Just need to stock up on basil plants!
That’s brilliant to hear! Hope it becomes a mealtime favourite.
