Roasted Pepper Pesto

This pesto is delicious on crackers, on lentil pasta, or zucchini noodles. I make double the batch and freeze half the quantity and I use it on the days I don’t have time to cook after a long day at work. I quickly boil some lentil pasta, roast some vegetables mix everything together and top it off with this yummy pesto.
