Super SIMPLE, delicious, healthy, and practical!
Ever had your pesto sauce go bad? Reminds me of avocados: too expensive to let go to waste! See how to ALWAYS EAT PERFECT AVOCADOS (#1 in Quick Kitchen Tips)!

| Cranberry Pesto Pasta Salad |
Remember this Pesto RATIO!
1/4 c pine nuts (or walnuts ... similar taste, less expensive, and more nutritious!) NUT BENEFITS
2 c fresh basil, packed
Blend these in a food processor until smooth.
Freeze in 1/2c or so portions.
Fill silicone cupcake holders OR scoop mixture on a cookie tray to freeze, and then fill a freezer bag with the portions. SO convenient and lasts forever!
Freezing just these two ingredients a) maintains perfect taste and b) minimizes freezer space used!
Whenever you WANT, pull out a 1/2 c portion.
Use spoon (no food processor necessary) to combine with:
1 1/4 c water or low-sodium vegetable broth
3/4 c nutritional yeast (click for benefits!)
Add pepper to taste (optional).
Try it out with Cranberry Pesto Pasta Salad!
