Pesto-61 cals per Tablespoon
Submitted by: HBALDWIN_1Introduction
Looked through all the recipes and saw so many with a ton of oil and cheese. My rule, cheese and oils are flavorings to be used like a spice, a little goes a long way. I used asiago as it has a little stronger flavor. It is a thicker recipe than traditional pesto, but when added to pasta with a splash of pasta water.... you will never miss the extra fat!!!
