A great sauce for any pasta or anything else you like to use pesto for (sorry for the bad photo, it really is delicious!). The balsamic vinegar in this recipe pairs well with dishes that contain tomatoes. Goes excellent with the Sun-dried Tomato Pasta - See my recipe here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/271714-sun-dried-tomato-pasta-dough

Makes enough for 4 servings of pasta.

Recipe from an "Infused Pasta" cooking class I took at the Seasoned Farmhouse in Columbus, Ohio by Chef Tom Hughes.

Notes: You can use any other green herbs or leafy greens in place of basil. You can also substitute any nut in place of the pine nuts. Almonds are the closest flavor to pine nuts, but cheaper.
