Spinach Pesto Pasta
Spinach Pesto Pasta
"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."
