Quick and easy pesto, pulsed in the food processor, makes good use of the abundance of spicy basil during summer. It takes just a few minutes to make a sauce for topping pastas, sandwiches, or vegetables.

This pesto was so easy to make and very versatile which I love! You can top meat or chicken with it. Serve it with pasta. I added it to store bought marinara to go over pasta. I'm going to make this more often and come up with new ways to serve it!
