Dried Tomato Pesto Recipe

	Shawdowsmom / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago This is a different twist on the favorite basil pesto. Great with fresh basil from the herb garden and your own dried tomatoes. Swap out the kind of basil or the walnuts for toasted pine nuts. Get creative! Prep:30m Cook:10m Servings:6	Shawdowsmom
