Pasta with Broccoli Pesto

Pesto is one of my favorite things in life.

It’s garlicky. Yet somehow it’s still fresh and light and perfect for steamy summer nights.

Pesto doesn’t have to be just basil.

Steamed broccoli makes awesome pesto. Steamed broccoli + 2 cloves of garlic + 1/4 cup of olive oil
