Chamerion angustifolium (Epilobium angustifolium)
Lus na tine
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamaenerion_angustifolium
"angustifolium ('narrowleaved') is constructed from the Latin words angustus meaning 'narrow' and folium meaning 'leaved' or 'leaf'. It shares this name with other species of plant including Vaccinium angustifolium. The common British name, from the passing resemblance of the flowers to (wild) roses and the leaves to those of bay, goes back in print to Gerard's Herball of 1597.[5] The common name 'fireweed' derives from the species' abundance as a coloniser on burnt sites after forest fires."

"Also known as Cuig-mhéarach, this 'five-fingered' plant was one of the ingredients in Middle Age love potions. It is still used in herbal preparations such as mouthwashes and I have seen the leaves in recipes for salad dishes."
"reptans means creeping or crawling"

"Typical cinquefoils look most similar to strawberries, but differ in usually having dry, inedible fruit (hence the name "barren strawberry" for some species). Many cinquefoil species have palmate leaves. Some species have just three leaflets, while others have 15 or more leaflets arranged pinnately. The flowers are usually yellow, but may be white, pinkish or red. The accessory fruits are usually dry but may be fleshy and strawberry-like, while the actual seeds – each one technically a single fruit – are tiny nuts."
Good clues here, leaves are like silverweed, red runners too:

Potentilla anserina - Silverweed
"The stalked pinnate leaves of Silverweed are alternate and usually have 7 to 12 pairs of toothed leaflets plus a terminal leaflet"Etymology
"Potentilla, the genus name, means 'powerful, despite its small size' and is a reference to the claimed medicinal value of plants in this genus."
"The specific epithet anserina means of or pertaining geese"
"Thin, red creepers form new stems"
Silverweed was allegedly plucked by "Roman soldiers to use as padding in their shoes" "vernacular names for the plants including Traveller's ease and Traveller's joy." "was said to keep the feet of long-distance messengers cool and dry."
"roots were eaten in times of famine"
"The roots can be baked, boiled, roasted, dried and ground into a rough flour for bread or porridge" "quite a meagre vegetable they taste a bit like parsnips."
Gaelic names include brisgean, briosglan or brislean, meaning brittle. It is also known as an seachdamh aran, one of the seven breads of the Gael"
"Potentilla means ‘little powerful one’ since the plant has astringent, anticatarrhal, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. Medicinal uses for dried leaves include gargling or mouthwash for sore throats, gum infections or mouth ulcers, or to be taken internally or applied as a compress for haemorrhoids, stomach ache or heartburn."
Very good details here:

A yellow flower, like vetch.
Leaves like big thyme leaves.
Some flowers (young?old?) red/orange red.
Lotus corniculatus "pea family Fabaceae," "native to grasslands in temperate Eurasia and North Africa. Common names include common bird's-foot trefoil,[2] bacon and eggs,[3] birdsfoot deervetch,[4] and just bird's-foot trefoil,[5] though the latter name is often also applied to other members of the genus."
"used in agriculture as a forage plant, grown for pasture, hay, and silage. It is a high quality forage that does not cause bloat in ruminants."
Flowers, sedative, hydrogen cyanide.

This one was difficult. Very small flower.
Hard to see what the petals were like. White flower, looked like 10 petals but there were 5 split petals.

e.g. wild garlic, dandelion, nettle leaves! right? With nuts and parmesian. Red pesto is just smashed up red stuff (i.e. tomatos, usually sun-dried, maybe chilli). Great opportunity for a bit of foraging in cupboards and garden followed by chopping, smashing and grating!
