Did you know that you can make a variety of pesto?  It’s not just limited to the classic basil and pine nut combo.  Pesto is a blanket definition of a flavorful leaf crushed with some nuts, a hard cheese, olive oil and lemon.  Using that as a base the possibilities are endless.

When I make pesto I don’t bother measuring.  I just go by taste and texture.  I dump everything in the food processor and 2 minutes later I have pesto I can use all week.

I use it in soups, on eggs, on pizza and of course in pasta.  It’s good to have as a pantry staple to help you whip up something healthy and nutritious on the fly.

Get creative with your pesto and I want to see what you come up with!
