Fresh Basil Pesto

? Seasonal and consistently a family favorite, this multi-use dressing is my Fresh Basil Pesto. This pesto is wonderful on ravioli or any pasta, including zucchini noodles (see below), drizzled on roasted veggies, or as a spread on a sandwich. This Pesto can also be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
