I also used cashews that were salted, which gave a nice contrast to the sweetness of the basil. And, you want to talk about super easy sauces? This is one of the easiest sauces I’ve ever made for pasta! I’ll definitely make it again. But, I wonder what other kind of herb I could use in place of basil….
