"This is the perfect recipe if you're looking for a quick, fresh dish to make on the go, for casual potluck get-togethers or if you just feel like having a simple lunch. I usually make this pesto when I don't know what to do with leftover parsley. The snap peas are half cooked and half raw, which gives a nice combination of sweetness and crunchiness. The addition of the hazelnuts brings something earthy to this otherwise lighter dish and somehow always makes me feel as if I were enjoying this dish in the fresh country air."

  • Pro tip

    Avoid overcooking with the cooking sensor from Siemens: The innovative Cooking Sensor Plus is attached directly to your pot and communicates with the self-sufficient hob via Bluetooth. The sensor detects the temperature you set and prevents overcooking by intelligently counteracting it.

  • Step 2/4

    Halve the cherry tomatoes, cut the remaining raw snap peas diagonally into fine strips and put both in a bowl. Roughly chop the parsley. Grate the zest of half a lemon and squeeze out the juice. Peel the garlic clove. Roughly chop some of the hazelnuts and set them aside for garnish.
