The perfect partner for pasta, homemade pesto.
Instructions:
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves, stems removed
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts
- 2 large cloves garlic (more if you like it super garlic..)
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup shredded or grated Parmesan (do not use the stuff in the can)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Ingredients:
- Combine basil leaves, pine nuts (or walnuts) and garlic in a food processor and process until very finely minced.
- With the machine running, slowly add the oil and process until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the cheese and process very briefly, just long enough to combine. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Store in refrigerator or freezer.
