Creamy herb paste/sauce perfect for all seasons! Main dish or side dish your guests (and yourself) will love. I made this on a whim when I ran out of basil. In my opinion I like this better than traditional pesto. It's perfect for short pasta shapes. Amount it serves is up to how much you use for your meal.

I'm not a huge fan of chives, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The chive flavor is very subtle, and it's balanced out perfectly by the other ingredients. I will definitely be making this again.
