We adore the flavors of classic basil pesto, but we also enjoy experimenting with other tasty variations, like this Pasta with Chickpea & Mushroom Pesto. This dish features fragrant basil, hearty mushrooms, protein-rich chickpeas, and rich, buttery pine nuts. It’s a spin on the traditional recipe that will definitely elevate your pasta dishes to a whole new level of yumminess!

tips:
Feel free to swap out the pine nuts for more affordable alternatives like walnuts or cashews, which will still provide a creamy texture. In case of nut allergies, pumpkin or sunflower seeds can be a suitable and delicious substitute. Enjoy experimenting with different flavors and textures!
