Mixed Herb Pesto
Mixed herb pesto: YES please. Take your leftover wilted herbs, and throw it all in a blender with any nuts around the kitchen! This is a perfect way to help use up wilted herbs to keep them from the trash bin. The pesto is made with garlic, pine nuts, basil, cilantro, mint, lemon, nutritional yeast & olive oil.

The pesto is then mixed with your pasta of choice (here I’m using fusilli), a lil bit of pasta water and almond milk for creaminess. Serve with black pepp and enjoy!
