Fennel Pesto

This is a fun recipe that we created by opening the pantry and using what we found. Of course, we didn’t measure anything at the time, but we have tried to approximate the recipe so you can enjoy it too. Be sure to let us know if you find anything in your pantry that makes this pesto even better!

Be sure to try it with the leek pancakes or over pasta.
