Sun-dried Tomato Pesto Pasta/Dip Mad Monday Recipe

It’s Mad Monday again!  The first Monday of every month where I share with you a Thermomix recipe that is very quick, but also is popular and a great family meal.

This thermomix sundried tomato pesto is very versatile!  It can be used as a delicious pasta sauce or a dip!  With 6 basic pantry ingredients you can whip up a 'stir through' pasta sauce (add more olive oil) or serve this beautiful pesto with some cheese, cheese crackers or rosemary, parmesan crackers.

This recipe was literally concocted whilst making my Chicken Pesto Roulade having a taste test before I added the cream cheese to the recipe!   The roulade recipe was given to my ThermoFun Members in Week 23, 2015.  Recipe available in my 2015 e-book
