Fresh Basil Pesto
Now this is what I call ‘fast food’. This creamy Basil Pesto Pasta can be whipped up in less than 15 mins and is a family favorite around here. The pesto is really easy to make and I often put it on top of whole wheat pasta noodles or Zucchini noodles if I’m wanting to keep things light.
