Pecan Pesto

I went to my farmer’s market and this beautiful green basil said “buy me”.  Then a freshly baked loaf of 7 grain said “serve me with pesto”.

When I got home I realized I had no pine nuts and no walnuts, oops!

Tucked way back in my cupboard were some beautiful pecans.  I thought I’d give them a try in pesto and it was the best pesto I have ever made.

Quick, simple and perfect to smother all over that fresh bread!
