Steps

1

First, please let’s appreciate this heaven of wild garlic 😍
2

Rinse wild garlic in a strainer under a stream of cold water, thoroughly
3

Add all the pesto ingredients in a food processor and mix for 1 or 2 minutes (depends on how strong the machine is) until you get a smooth creamy mixture
4

We will only need one tablespoon for this recipe so if you have much left, you can put in a jar with a bit of olive oil on top
5

Bring water with a good pinch of salt to the boil on high heat then add the pasta, give it a stir and cook it for ~ 10 minutes (or according to the packet instructions)
I usually just try a piece to tell if it’s cooked or not
6

Drain the water from your pasta. Return the pasta to the pot and add to it 1 tablespoon of butter. Mix gently with a wooden spoon so the pasta doesn’t break.
7

Finally add a tablespoon of the pesto you prepared along with the feta cheese and mix gently until all the flavors are combined. Enjoy!
