Directions
You can’t go without a jar of pesto in your fridge. Whether to use it as a dip for veggies, as a spread for toast, as a sauce for patties or as a quick pasta condiment, you will always find it useful to have it! And to be honest, homemade pesto is way better than the one from the store. Our version uses walnuts instead of pine-nuts for a much heartier flavor.
