Nice ingredients! But it’s a bit heavy on the pesto for me. I would rather make the pasta the star of the show and dress it up. Home made pasta would also be more interesting/original.

we have since gone gluten free and we did make our own pasta it just wasnt done on this occasion as it was a quick meal for my son. I have a love of duck egg pasta, but at the moment we have no access to ducks .. until we get our own of course. This pesto is good enough to eat on it’s own as the rocket was garden fresh and baby tender.
