Spaghetti with Garlic Pesto
The alliin contained in wild garlic is transformed into allicin during crushing - this protects against vascular deposits and thus also against heart and circulation diseases. The rich green colour of wild garlic is due to the chlorophyll. The plant pigment acts as an antioxidant in the body and can support blood formation and detoxification.
Instead of pine nuts you can also use walnuts, for example. If you want to have some more of the wild garlic time, the pesto can also be frozen.
