When there is fresh Basil - It's the time to.. Pestooo! & have it over just about anything
We have sooo many plans - pesto can go over toast, drizzled over eggs, toss in pasta, scoop into soup, layer in sandwiches, on some homemade pizza, maybe as a marinade or even to enhance a salad dressing..
While making our pesto, we plan on trying a walnut version - Blending in some basil leaves with couple of walnuts, roasted garlic, grated parmesan, olive oil, salt, pepper and a splash of lemon juice.
Some say adding a bit of parsley can help brighten the green.
Or you could go classic!
Apart from this popular dish, the wonderful aroma of basil works even added by itself to garnish pastas/pizza, add in salad, soups, bread/bruschettas & much more.
