    Chef Rrrita's Note:

    A simple but quite good basil pesto recipe I concocted from a couple of different recipes. A bit more garlic, less oil, and extra pinenuts. Enjoy!

    Ingredients:

    Serves: 4-6

    Yield:

    cups

    Units: US | Metric

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Put all ingredients except parmesan cheese into the blender and blend until the consistency you like (I like it a bit grainy but not chunky).
    2. 2
      At this point, you can freeze batches in ziploc bags for later use.
    3. 3
      For use now, add parmesan cheese and pour over pasta (I use a rigatoni because the texture captures the pesto well).
    4. 4
      You could add some fresh or sun-dried tomatoes into the pasta with the pesto as well.
