We like Pasta at home and when pasta is made with fresh
pesto then it’s totally Yummy. I had a fresh bunch of basil so I have made
Basil Walnut Pesto and added it to Macaroni instead of Spaghetti or any other
Pasta.
The pasta is made according to our liking you can make the
pesto just this way and continue making the pasta Your Style.
