Chive Pesto

Creamy herb paste/sauce perfect for all seasons! Main dish or side dish your guests (and yourself) will love. I made this on a whim when I ran out of basil. In my opinion I like this better than traditional pesto. It’s perfect for short pasta shapes. Amount it serves is up to how much you use for your meal.

One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
