A great pesto sauce that can be used with your favorite pasta or with turkey sliders. Be warned though, pine nuts are kind of expensive!
Am I the only one that finds store-bought Pesto Sauce expensive? If you answer yes to this question then I have a solution for you! Blondie’s Pesto Sauce is an easy and more affordable way to make your own in the comfort of your own home.
Depending on how much pine nuts are in your area, it might actually be cheaper to buy your pesto sauce but what fun is that? In any case, I will leave it up to you which one is cheaper if costs are important to you.
The only kitchen tool you need to pull this recipe off is some kind of food processor or immersion blender to puree all the ingredients together.
But where does Pesto come from anyways? I was wondering the same thing so I decided to look it up. This article explains it best.
In addition to using this sauce with pasta, you can also use it with this Baked Turkey Pesto Sliders recipe.
