“One of my faves, so easy to do. I usually swap one cup of basil for a cup or petit pois and the other cup for any other green herbs or leafy veg tjat i have to hand - e.g. salad leaf, mint, recently I used broccoli leaves as we had loads growing in the garden that I didn't want to waste. Tastes fab every time.”
