Random Food of the Week: Asparagus Pesto

I got several bundles of asparagus at Bountiful Baskets and I was so excited. So I just ate it with a little lemon and butter. Then a few weeks later I got even more. I usually don't try weird recipes on asparagus because I don't get it very often. This time I had enough that I could spare it.

I was craving pesto, so I wondered if asparagus pesto is actually food. I'm not really going to link to a recipe because it didn't turn out well. The taste was great. The color was fantastic. However, I didn't have a food processor so I just tried to use my blender which usually is a good enough substitute. However, the texture was off as the cooked asparagus was really grainy and stringy. It would've been better to not use it as a sauce and just toss asparagus with the pasta. I will try it if I get a food processor, but not before.
