- 4 cups fresh basil
- 1/3 cup parsley
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 1 Tablespoon Tahini
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- salt & pepper, optional
Directions
- Peel all black garlic bulbs.

Another option is to spiralize a zucchini and add that to the pasta pot in the last minute of cooking. In that case, you can reduce the amount of pasta, or make a little more pesto to make sure there is enough to cover all the pasta and noodles. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
