Recipe of the Week: Asparagus Pea Pesto with Black Garlic
A little throwback to summer with this recipe. Check out those gorgeous colors! Summer squash, fresh heirloom tomatoes, beautiful arugula…holy summer! Luckily for us, this recipe is possible even in the autumn chill. We can still get fresh ingredients at the grocery store, and although we may not be enjoying the fresh result on the back patio, we can bring this delicious snack to a tailgate party for a little healthy addition!
