Quick and Tasty Basil Pesto

May 28, 2015 by Elle Leave a Comment

Pesto

A couple of weekends ago Max and I were hanging out with some friends. It was a fun time! We played volleyball at the park and then went and got ice cream at this super cool place called Subzero. If you haven’t been, you need to go! They mix liquid creams under liquid nitrogen and it freezes right before your eyes.  After that we went and played games at our friends house. I asked my friends what kind of recipes they would like to see on the blog. My friend Metzli replied and said that she would like to see a pesto recipe. I love love love pesto and thought it would be a great thing to do. So that’s where the inspiration came for today’s recipe.  Homemade pesto is super delicious. It’s amazingly fresh and so flavorful. I can’t stand a dull pesto. Max is weird with his pestos, and he liked this one a lot. The basil pesto comes together quickly and is perfect to give some life to your pasta. Stay tuned because there’s lots of ways I’ll be using this yummy pesto 😀
