Yeah, that'd work but I've adapted the recipe a bit and taken a short cut with the pesto sauce.

I buy Jamie Oliver Pesto sauce from the supermarket. I've worked out that I can get 3 meals out of the jar. The quality is very good and its much cheaper than buying fresh basil.

I quickly sauté chopped ham or chorizo, sliced capsicum, garlic, spring onion and pine nuts.

I cook fettucine and add the sauté mixture along with some of the pesto sauce, grated Parmesan and lemon juice.

The result? Marvellous
