Mint Parsley Walnut Pesto with Spaghetti Recipe

This week's recipe is a real comfort food recipe. I wanted to do something with the enormous amount of mint and parsley in my herb garden. We had so much rain that it was growing like crazy. This mint parsley walnut pesto is a delicious add-on to any dish.

I made this one with gluten-free spaghetti but it can be made with regular spaghetti or any other pasta. If you want to visit our other pasta recipes, feel free to click here.

Since it is Gluten Free pasta, it may break into pieces of you stir too quickly. Add more pesto if needed to the spaghetti if it is not coated enough.

Love the way this pesto dish tastes and looks! How about you? I did find that the Mint and Parsley has a mild taste together. I pulled from my fresh mint plant and also cut from my parsley plant in my herb garden.
