Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. To prepare the ingredients, halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the broccolini and walnuts, and finely grate the Parmesan cheese.
Toss the cherry tomato in the balsamic vinegar and the olive oil and place on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 25 minutes or until blistered.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook for 7 minutes or until cooked ‘al dente’. Add the broccolini in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain, reserving a tablespoon of the pasta water.
Combine the pasta, reserved pasta water, traditional pesto, broccolini and roasted tomatoes. Garnish with the Parmesan cheese and crunchy walnuts.
