I am such a fan of fresh pesto! I am in love with basil, so anything that included that ingredient is always a bonus. Found this yummy recipe on Our Family Treat.  They have some great recipes on their blog with a focus on Italian, which I am a complete fan of!  I can't wait to try their Asparagus Shrimp Risotto.

  1. Oh Good Lord - that looks amazing. But tell me not to be scared of yeast. I've never used it before, and it intimidates me!
