Basil Pesto

Easy to Make

Cut fresh basil stems just before it flowers.  3 nodes up from bottom of stem.  2 new stems will generate and you will have fresh basil all season! don't buy the basil plants in the grocery store they don't last.  Buy them from the garden section of your local hardware store.

The obvious choice is tossing pesto with pasta, but your options don’t end there. Spoon it over a Caprese salad, top it onto a grain bowl, scoop it onto spaghetti squash or mac and cheese, or incorporate it into this yummy zucchini casserole. We love it on polenta and homemade pizza, too. It’s even great on scrambled eggs! Do you have a favorite way to use pesto? Let me know in the comments!
