Pesto

5 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • 13 cup pine nuts
  • 13 cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 12-34 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (use good cheese, it makes all the difference!)

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.
