One of my all time favorite pasta’s are pesto pasta. It’s also one of the easiest pasta’s to make with only five ingredients and no stove required to make the pesto. The most important ingredient in the pesto is the basil which lucky for me is one of the herbs I grow in my garden and grows like weeds.
Fortunately I will have the pleasure of pesto all summer.
