Oregano Pesto Recipe | How to Make Oregano Pesto

The Italian classic: PESTO. It’s my favorite sauce in the cookbook. This Oregano Pesto is an exciting twist on the basil pesto we’re all familiar with.

This recipe has deep, Mediterranean flavors and basically tastes delicious on anything.

To begin, try it atop toast, pasta, scrambled eggs, and roasted cauliflower.
