Pasta fans, will love this recipe. Pesto is so easy to make and so flavorful. You can make this recipe in under and hour, perfect for a quick after work meal.
You may add some chunks of fried tofu or pan-fried chicken breast if you want to add protein. If you don't like the taste of the parsley, you may omit it and add another 1/4 cup of basil instead. You can also switch out the cheese for another nutty cheese such as gruyere.
