If you've ever quit sugar, as I have a few times, you know that your first week can be a cranky one! This easy fresh basil pesto made the week much easier on my family. It gave a tasty edge to some plain chicken, making us feel like we were getting a treat. We paired it with some green beans and half a plate of salad (low-carb means lots of veggies, people! You can't live on protein alone!) and it made a really good meal.
Basil pesto is great on noodles, too, so whether you want some on actual pasta or spiralized veggies, it will work. And if you don't want to make your own, you can get it really cheap at the supermarket. I've bought it at Aldi before for about $2 per jar.
What do you do with your pesto? Do you add any variations, like mint or parsley? Share your ideas and photos in the chat.
