Pistachio Pesto
I’m just in the mood for pistachios at the moment. This morning I thought why not make them int one of my favorite dishes and that is Pesto. Home made pesto is sensational and easy to make. I love to vary my pesto and make with whatever I have available. Today t is pistachios. Pesto is delicious on fresh bread just as it is or with a good ham, or on top of pasta. Or add some to your favorite pasta sauce or meatballs. Just a great dish to have on hand.
