Pesto Presto!

So just for fun ... a Comic Life Recipe ... 

It's not really a pesto, but it works like one. A pesto hack, maybe.  But we'll call it Hey Pesto! 

This stuff is quick to rustle up as a sauce or garnish. You can use it to pep things up in a mild tasting pasta dish or to top a soup or casserole.  It adds a zingy sparkle, when you are scoffing your way through a one bowl winter warmer; the food we often have in the cold is a single comfort dish, substantial and hearty and with everything piled into the same  pot.  So we sometimes need a little variety, a culinary fascinator ... a topping.  You might have a crunchy crouton ... but if you have chunky bread on the side maybe a crouton is one starchy carb too many.

Hey Pesto!

A bunch of basil ( a cup full)
