I love pesto. I know you can buy it everywhere, but have you ever tried making your own? It’s one of those things that is totally fool-proof and even better when you make it, not to mention a lot more nutritious. This simple kale pistachio pesto is so easy to make you won’t believe it. If you plan on feeding it to your kids I recommend making up some story about how they are so lucky they get to eat green pasta, otherwise they will look at you and ask, “why are you serving me green pasta?” Mix it into your favourite shaped pasta, and don't forget to save some of the water you cooked your pasta in.
