Summer Pesto
by @mollyjean4


This beautiful summer pesto is a great way to use up any leftover herbs or greens like arugula and spinach. Toss in whatever nuts you have in your pantry, Parmesan cheese and olive oil and you're good to go! Our favorite way to serve it is folded into warm pasta and topped with blistered cherry tomatoes and mozzarella.
