I prepared the Thermomix Asparagus Pesto last week and I froze the leftover in glass jars.
I used the pesto to season pasta that both my partner and I loved, I think it’s also perfect for those who don’t tolerate the taste of asparagus very well.
Another idea could be: add the Thermomix Asparagus Pesto to the béchamel sauce to make a more indulgent version of the vegetable lasagna.
If you don’t have pine nuts, you can easily substitute them with almonds or cashews as I did.
I just wish you a good day and leave you with the recipe to prepare the Thermomix Asparagus Pesto.
See you at the next recipe!

Put the water in the bowl and place the basket with the cleaned asparagus cut into small pieces on top of the blades, close the jar and cook: 15 min. 100° speed 2.

Gather on the bottom with the help of the spatula and add the oil, emulsify: 20 sec. speed. 5.

It is perfect for seasoning pasta or filling lasagna.
*For vegans, it is necessary to replace Parmesan with dehydrated brewer’s yeast, while for those intolerant to dairy products, it is possible to use lactose-free Parmesan cheese.
