Lighter Pesto
I just got my Everyday Food July/August issue in the mail and there was a recipe in it for a lighter version of pesto. I love pesto, but I don't love the fat. While nuts and extra virgin olive oil are considered "Good Fats", this recipe pares down the calories with less oil, fewer nuts and more basil.
