10 Minute Pesto

Who doesn't love a good pesto? We like to throw together this 10 Minute Pesto and add it to meals all week. It's perfect for adding to eggs, salad dressings, roasted veggies, pasta, spaghetti squash, zoodles, pizza, meats, fish...the list goes on! We added this batch to roasted chicken and veggies to add some flavor and greens to a basic meal. We recommend using a good quality cheese like Romano or Parmesan-Reggiano. Quality extra virgin olive oil is also important. If you like a smoother pesto, add more oil!
