Parsley Pesto Pasta

We had (still have) an abundance of parsley in the garden out back.  It was getting to the point where I was concerned for the well-being of my young radishes, beets and lettuce.  So, my parsley got a haircut. A big ol' chop chop. And then I had this.
 A lovely, fragrent bouquet.
Which took up space in my fridge. 
So I thought I would try something new, and make some parsley pesto.  
I chopped up some garlic cloves and a chunk of parmesan in the food processor, then added a little pool of olive oil to the mix.  I threw in some pecans too, though I suppose I could have tried almonds.  
Pulse, pulse.
Add the parsley.
Chop until it looks good and ta-da!
It took longer to cook the spaghetti.
But boy, was it good!

I will be tinkering with carving wax soon.
I have to clean off my bench first. Ug.
