Has there ever been that one thing in your food life you can’t live without? I’m 99.9% sure mine might be pesto.

It’s just so flavorful – with the freshness of the basil, the earthiness of the nuts and don’t get me started on the garlic.

Its just goes so well on everything. Got a warm bowl of pasta? Throw a couple dollops of pesto in there and you have a delish meal ready in 10 minutes. Got a loaf of french bread? Dip it in some fresh pesto for an appetizer everyone will love.
