This super easy lettuce pesto is super easy, healthy and a #lessfoodwaste recipe.
It will take you just a few minutes to prepare and it will be the perfect sauce for your pasta.
The truth is that when I have some spinach, some lettuce, some kale in the fridge and I don't know what to do with it, I make this pesto so I don't throw it away. You can do the same and give utility to vegetables that would otherwise simply be thrown away.
