Wild garlic tastes fresh, slightly spicy and garlicky. With just two additional ingredients you can conjure up a simple pesto from the aromatic leaves.

The paste is particularly useful when things need to be done quickly. A few spoonfuls of pesto are quickly stirred into the still warm pasta and garnished with a little grated Parmesan - and the delicious one-pot pasta is ready. The pesto will keep for a few months if stored in a cool, dark place and can be used in a variety of ways.
