Super Simple Basil Pesto

0
0

Basil Pesto alone is reason enough to plant some fresh Basil in your garden this summer.

The first time I saw pesto salad, in my pre-foodie days, I was not impressed because it was, after all, green. And, I just didn’t eat things that were green back then.

My boss at the deli made me try some, and I was shocked…shocked that anything green could taste that good.

The  pesto sauce in the recipe below can be used not only tossed on noodles as I describe below, but also as an alternate pizza sauce, or even as a filler in homemade ravioli. I even like it as a sauce on sandwiches, or in homemade Stromboli.

Enjoy!
