Here’s my go-to pesto recipe for when I want to switch things up. Instead of pine nuts (because my god, $$) I use roasted almonds and instead of just basil, I sub 1/2 of the basil for scallion tops. Perfect as a spread, dip, with pasta, & on pizza.
I enjoyed this batch with pasta, and froze half of the batch for later. When you’re ready to enjoy, just thaw in the fridge for a few hours and enjoy! Recipe below
