    I loved this. I made a roasted butternut squash soup for lunch and served this on toasted baguette. Next I want to try it on hot pasta because I think it will go really nicely that way

    Quick Herb and Cream Cheese Pesto, This is a super spread on hot toast, fresh bread or pasta It’s really worth it to make it when you can get fresh herbs — it’s really all about the herbs! Put in your processor, and whizz! Quantities can vary I found it quite hard to measure because I simply use handfuls Prep time is a rough guess for preparing the herbs, assembling the ingredients, and processing , I loved this I made a roasted butternut squash soup for lunch and served this on toasted baguette Next I want to try it on hot pasta because I think it will go really nicely that way, This was interesting used basil, flat leaf parsley and green onion I was a little surprised at the sesame seed and herb ratio to the cream cheese I think it would be fine, used as a pesto in soup or pasta sauce, however, I wanted a spread for toast, mainly, so increased the cream cheese by quite a lot I want to try this with other herbs in season Thank you for posting a recipe with so many possibilities
