I made this today, but instead of over pasta, I put it in a spinach wrap, w/red sweet pepper, & a mozz. cheese slice. Yum.

Absolutely fantastic and easy to make. I did a basic pesto with 2 cups of basil, oil, 1/2 pine nuts and some parmesan cheese. I did not serve it over pasta to decrease the carbs, but it was so yummy.
