Basil Overload!

It's that time of year. The basil plants in my garden are growing like crazy.

I decided to make pesto on Sunday. Made 2 batches; one to use this week and another one to freeze.

For dinner last night I made a creamy pesto sauce with mushrooms & prosciutto then I roasted some chicken tenders saltimbocca style and threw them on top of the pasta. Pretty good, except I didn't salt the sauce enough due to thinking the prosciutto would add saltiness. Now I know!
