The BEST Homemade Pesto Recipe

If you know me, you know my love for pesto runs veryyyy deep. Here is the best pesto recipe I’ve been making for 6+ years and it never gets old💚 it’s good to meal prep for the week, to enjoy of course with pasta- but also any dish like chicken, rice bowl, salads. The only other ingredient I sometimes add is avocado for healthy fats and to make it super creamy! You gotta try it!!
