{No Oil} Pesto

Yeah, you read that title right - No. Oil. Pesto. I'm going be doing a couple of recipes that don't include oil because I'm on an eating regimen that doesn't allow it (or butter, or alcohol, or carbs - aka anything good in life (jk)). This forced me to be creative (during a time when brain farts happened more often than not) and mix up my favorite pasta sauce. To be honest, I've always thought pesto had too much olive oil in it to begin with. Looking at the bottom of an empty bowl where pesto played a part always made me feel a little bit guilty. Now, after a few test runs, I found a way that requires zero, zip, nada oil and it tastes great. I'm not kidding and not the alternative "great" - like the real, I-will-never-make-it-with-olive-oil-ever-again-great, deal. See below what the twist is...and, as always, enjoy!
