We have a LOT of Thai basil growing in our garden. And what do you do when you have a lot of any kind of basil? Naturally, you make pesto. So, we decided to experiment with some Thai basil pesto and let’s just say it went well.
So far, we have enjoyed it with sautéed scallops, tuna and soba noodles as a pasta dish. It is so refreshing and delicious. If you enjoy Thai flavors, you will LOVE this Thai basil pesto.
