Lentil Pasta with Broccoli & Almond Pesto

Pesto with a twist! Instead of using the classic basil and pine nut combination we've upped the nutrients by using fibrous broccoli and vitamin E packed, immunity supporting almonds. This is a really delicious pasta dish the whole family will love in their packed lunches or for a weeknight dinner.
