Pesto
- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
2 1/2 cups
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
- 2 cups fresh basil
- 1⁄3 cup pine nuts
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (use good cheese, it makes all the difference!)
directions
- 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).
- At this point, you can freeze batches in ziploc bags for later use.
- For use now, add parmesan cheese and pour over pasta (I use a rigatoni because the texture captures the pesto well).
- You could add some fresh or sun-dried tomatoes into the pasta with the pesto as well.
