Spaghetti - Pesto

Its been ages since I had wanted to make pasta with pesto sauce. When I came across fresh basil leaf packs at Seagull Foods I just couldn't wait to try it. The recipes  I checked online usually call for pine nuts in the pesto. But I substituted it with peanuts and it tasted pretty to good to me and the family.

Spaghetti - Pesto Style

How to:

1. Combine basil, peanuts, garlic and olive oil into a blender/food processor and blend till it becomes a puree and add cheese, salt and pepper and blend again till well combined..
