Mint cashew pesto
About:
This is a delicious savoury mint pesto with cahews! I love this pesto! It is so perfect for a summer sandwich/salads/pasta.
The mint adds a hint of freshness to this pesto.
This really goes for any dish. Feel free to add a bit more olive oil if the pesto is too dry or more salt and pepper if needed. I made our favorite pasta (spinach pasta) and tossed together the pasta, pesto and some reserved cooking water. I topped the pasta with a sprinkle of mozerella cheese. It was divine. Simple and delicious.
