Spaghetti with Creamy Broccoli Pesto

Tomorrow is my baby shower lunch and Cooper's cake and ice cream party...so the house is in full swing of being cleaned. Or let's just pretend it is, because of course, I am sick today. So ready to get back to normal...or new normal with a newborn. 17 days until the due date!

Last night, I tried a broccoli pesto. It was super easy. 

I cheated and used frozen broccoli florets....

Cooper dug in, so he didn't mind that they were frozen! You can use fresh or frozen. 

Spaghetti with Creamy Broccoli Pesto

Add olive oil, garlic, heavy cream and Parmesan to food processor, puree until smooth.
