Basil Walnut Pesto Pasta! Such an easy and delicious dinner. I whipped up this homemade version with basil from my indoor garden and walnuts, parmesan, and lemon. This recipe is literally as easy as throwing everything in a blender! Oh, and boiling some water for your pasta, too. I love to pair this with a noodle that will catch all the pesto-y goodness, like the fusilli in the pictures below. This pesto pasta also goes great with a glass of your favorite red wine!
