"Nut Free Pesto Pasta 🌱 •
I hated pesto as a kid, but I’ve completely changed my mind about it as an adult. Are there foods like that for you?
It’s tricky to find nut free pesto, so I regularly make my own 😋 I always add a pinch of nutmeg to soften the bite, and my crew loves it!
It’s exactly the kind of #cookonceeattwice meal that I love, and admittedly, beyond packing leftovers in a lunchbox, I eat this cold for breakfast sometimes. 😂 ❤️ More on stories @lalalunchbox ✨ Let me know if you make this!
