Happy Saturday Guys…
I had some Cilantro Pesto in my freezer for a while and I was thinking what to do with that…If you want cilantro pesto recipe check this…
I thought of making some pasta with that which is just to toss some hot pasta over this…
But I went deeply and thought why not we can make some mac and cheese with pesto…And the result is this wonderful flavorful dish..
I really loved this dish a lot and it was so comforting…So here you go..Hope you all like it..
