ABOUT Pasta Spirals with Pesto Sauce RECIPE

Kids generally love Pasta and my son is no exception. He is more than happy to have it as an after school snacks. I generally make pasta with red or white sauce but today I am sharing a very fragrant and classic pasta recipe with home made Pesto sauce. I Have followed this recipe from the book, Best Ever Pasta Sauces by Linda Fraser. The recipe of Pesto sauce calls for the use of pine nuts, but I have replaced them with walnuts.
