Pine Nut Pesto

 

Pesto is so versatile and so easy to make!  You can throw it over gluten-free pasta, spread it on a pizza or give your eggs a kick.  And as easy as it is to make - it’s even easier to store.  Transfer pesto to a mason jar, top with thin layer of olive oil, cover, and refrigerate.
