CREAMY PESTO
This is a fairly simple recipe I came across years ago. It is divided into two parts, the pesto and an Alfredo sauce, and then the two are mixed together! Serve over hot pasta. Have fun with the pasta - some of our favorites for this are penne and farfalle (bow tie).

[email protected]This creamy pesto recipe was a bit too heavy for my taste. The sauce was very thick and rich, and it overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the pasta. I think I would prefer a more traditional pesto recipe next time.

[email protected]This creamy pesto is the perfect summer dish. It's light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I love serving it over grilled chicken or fish, but it's also great on pasta or as a spread for sandwiches.

[email protected]Not a fan. The flavor was bland and the texture was too thick. I think I'll stick to my regular pesto recipe.

[email protected]Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh basil from my garden and it was amazing. The creamy pesto sauce was perfect for pasta, but I also tried it on chicken and it was equally delicious. Highly recommend!
