We love pasta – normally we use Sainsbury’s gluten free which is excellent. This is a pasta sauce that came to life out of sticking our heads into the fridge and deciding to jazz up some Vegan Pesto. So…Vegan Pesto, Mushroom and Walnut Pasta Sauce was born. Its quick, delicious and makes a great supper or weekend lunch. Sacla’s Vegan Pesto Sauce is one of those products we always keep in the cupboard. I’m sure there are lots of people who make their own, but we don’t!
Sacla – Here’s the link to their website. Their Pesto is in most grocery stores.
