I have mixed feelings about asparagus season. I'm excited that anything besides squash will be at the market, but overwhelmed with endless recipe planning around these vibrant green stalks. A great way to soothe this locavore angst is by making asparagus pesto. It highlights the bright flavours of the asparagus. Plus, it's very versatile: Use it as a main for pasta or to top chicken and fish, serve it as a dip or spread it on sandwiches. Best of all you can whip through bundles of asparagus with the simple pulse of the food processor.
