Roasted Garlic Almond Pesto

This pesto is so easy to prepare, and will add a fresh, bright flavor to any dish! Incorporate healthy fats and loads of flavor with only a few minutes of preparation. When I made this pesto, I coated some shrimp with it, and cooked them for about 1 minute on my George Foreman grill. I tossed them with some cooked spaghetti squash and asparagus for a delicious healthy dinner and it was fantastic! Click HERE to learn how to cook the perfect spaghetti squash.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did.
