If you love pasta, pesto and garlic this Pasta with Wild Garlic Pesto is something for you! It's super creamy, garlicky, and absolutely perfect to have with a glass of red wine.
Pesto has always been my favorite sauce. If it were for me, I would have it for breakfast, smeared on a slice of bread. My obsession has reached such levels that my boyfriend can't even hear the word "pesto"anymore xD, which I can not understand because I believe there is nothing better than a sauce made of olive oil , walnuts and basil, right?
Wild Garlic has a very strong garlicky aroma and flavor, for this reason I decided to mix it with avocado, in this way the avocado does not only neutralize the garlic flavor but it makes the pesto super creamy.
