Moringa pesto sauce

Pesto sauce made from malunggay leaves? Yes, I myself was a bit surprised and yet thrilled when I saw it featured in a tv show. The lowly yet nutrition-packed leaves we just pluck from our neighbor's backyard can be great alternative to the usual basil leaves used in pesto sauce. Pesto, by the way, is a sauce made from pounded basil leaves, cheese, nuts and olive oil, and added to pasta for an authentic Italian dish. Pasta with pesto sauce is actually much healthier than the usual spaghetti and carbonara we Filipinos are more familiar with. Basil leaves are not that popular here in the Philippines because we don't normally add them to our dishes. As expected, it is difficult to find them in supermarkets. Anyway, back to malunggay or moringa in English, I can't imagine how the taste will turn out if I try making a sauce out of this at home. But it's cheap and accessible. So, it won't be that heartbreaking if I make a disastrous meal. I'll post the recipe here if I get to make it.
