Sort of boring but always seasonally amazing the first batch of basil is ready for pesto. Gonna switch it up and swap the pine nuts for a different nut. Hazelnuts? Almonds? Thoughts? Discuss!
And if you’re looking for another switch to your pesto recipe, here’s one that swaps the basil for spinach from Mad Hungry.

Nuts with pesto is the best option. If you combine this with noodles… Got a dinner of god! :D.

Though I like pine nuts more in a pesto, I think hazelnut is the best swap to it. Looks like you will have a delicious pesto.
