Tips
Tips: Nuts can burn easily. Keep a close eye on them while toasting.
Do not use basil stems that are woody since they will not puree well. Some leaves are needed for this pesto, but use your wilted leaves that are on their last leg!
To use with pasta, stir enough water into the pesto to reach desired consistency. For each serving, combine 1/2 cup hot cooked whole grain pasta and 2 Tablespoons pesto.
