Hariyali Aur Pasta

Yea, I am cooking too much Pasta these days. Reason: because I am almost on the verge of getting bored of it and finding a new handy recipe I can master and cook very often :D

So this time, it was Spinach Pesto. I have made the real Pesto many times, and watched it being cooked by Nigella Lawson, Vicky Ratnani and even David Rocco in their own manners with their own twists. So, the experimental me, decided to do it with my own twist. And nonetheless, the result was great. Or so I liked, or so everyone who tasted, said :D

And, Like every time, I cooked it like every other Indian woman. No Measurements, just the guts. :D
