In the time it takes the pasta to cook, you can whip up a delicious pesto for it.

Another reason why we're eating so much pesto...My 16-month-old demands that he always eat with a fork. Which is good but also makes a

1) Pesto tastes delicious either over hot pasta or in a cold pasta salad. 2) if not used right away, store the pesto in an air-tight container topped with a layer of olive oil to keep fresh.3) Use gluten-free pasta or vegetable noodles to make without gluten.Pesto can be made by crushing the ingredients in a mortar & pestle. But I prefer the convenience of the food processor.

Garlic: Fresh cloves are best. However, if you don’t like the pungency of raw garlic, replace with ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.

White miso paste: Miso is a fermented paste made from soybeans. Look for it in tubs near the tofu in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.

One word of caution: Don’t replace fresh basil with dried. Dried basil has its place in soups and sauces, but it just won’t work in pesto. Actual leafy greens are a must.

If you’re concerned about it oxidizing and losing its bright green color, cover the top of the pesto with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil to minimize its contact with air.
