Beet Pesto Pasta
It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, where we will be seeing pink in all forms to highlight the importance of education, raise awareness on the disease, remember the importance of early detection and support those who are currently seeking treatment or survivors. I wanted to share my pink contribution with this Beet Pesto Pasta! A sweet spin on a savory dish that is not only easy to make but so delicious to eat! Plus the color is perfection. 🙂 For more information on breast cancer awareness, visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
