Pesto pasta

So I had this huge craving for pasta last week. Being a new mom, I'm not allowed to eat out. So the only other option I had was to prepare it at home. 

Searched online for the recipe of pesto paste. It's so damn simple. I was floored. 

Ingredients:

Basil leaves - a handful

Olive oil - as required 

Garlic pods - 3-4

Cashew nuts and walnuts

Salt and pepper

Pasta of your choice

Veggies that you like

Mozzarella - a few chunks

Mix the first 5 ingredients and blend in a mixer/blender. That's it !!

For the pasta, I sautéed capsicum and corn, added the pasta and mozzarella cheese. Switched off the stove and then added the pesto paste. Turned out so yum. 

For the garlic bread, I found the garlic and herbs readymade butter in the super market. That made my job very easy.
