My wife did a research paper on the benefits of spinach and we cooked this as an example of how to use spinach for people who don't like the typical way of steaming or boiling it. We loved it and cook it often now.

I love keeping pesto on hand in my fridge. Test out different greens, herbs, nuts and oils for more variety. Even avocado works if you squeeze some fresh lemon juice in!

This recipe is my southern answer to pesto. It's a bit savory, so I balance the bite with a slice of apple for service on crackers. It could easily be used for sandwich filling, or stuffing pasta, or a general use filling.

This pesto pasta is a delicious quick and easy summer recipe. Full instructions how to make your own basil pesto are included, or you can make it even easier and use store-bought.Shout out to the lovely @minh who shared the same idea with me using spinach fettuccine instead of spaghetti 💚

I add a splash of red wine vinegar towards the end because I love a good chimichurri sauce and it gives it a hint of that flavor. This is wonderful tossed in some gnocchi and topped with crumbled blues cheese and served with a filet. You can also add some regular cream and toss it with some cheese tortellini.

I wanted to make basil pesto using fresh aromatic basil direct from a farmer.Dry-roasting nuts gives extra flavour. You can divide it up into small portions and store in the freezer. If you store in the fridge for a while, keep only portions you will use. Flatten the surface and pour the olive oil on it to avoid any discolouring.If you leave some nuts chunks when you use the food processor, you can also enjoy the nutty texture. Recipe by KiwieKiwie

Still got lots of sweet basil growing in the garden, so I'm making a batch of this Basil Walnut Pesto for all kinds of applications. Goes without saying on pasta, but it's also delicious whipped into butter and cream cheese, mixed with hummus or mayo, as a pizza spread, and also as a base for delicious salad dressing.You can use other nuts (pine nuts, obviously), but almonds, cashews, and pecans are also delicious.
