“If there is a MAGIC ingredient that will make a new cook, or a home chef in need of redemption, a winner with their family, it is this pesto recipe. Pesto is a flavor packed paste that has a left hook of garlicky pow, an upper cut of sweet basil, and a versatile knock out to make the most blah dishes FAB! You don’t even need to turn on the stove just drop all the fun stuff into the food processor and you have a flavor party. A fun reason I love my pesto is I use almonds instead of pine nuts because they are cheaper then pine nuts, adds a fun stronger nutty taste, and the leftover almonds are fun to eat. The other thing that separates my pesto from others is I use less oil so it is more crunchy, and 3 garlic cloves for a big flavor add. Calling all Chop Happy townspeople to make this awesome dish!
Fun Ways To Add This Pesto To Make WOW:
1. Pesto Potato salad
2 Use as salad dressing to jazz up your boring salad
3. Top eggs with the pesto to make the breakfast pow
4. Mix in tomato salad or pasta to add green yummy flavor and more!
