Homemade pesto #easyrecipe
juillet 15, 2014
To me, nothing screams summer yumminess like fresh, homemade
pesto.
Remember that herb garden I planted last spring? It’s time to make use of my beautiful basil plants to make my very own batch of pesto.

Remember that herb garden I planted last spring? It’s time to make use of my beautiful basil plants to make my very own batch of pesto.
A lot of people will make enough to freeze, and I think that’s great. On those lazy nights when you don’t know what to make? Bingo, there’s pesto in the freezer – pasta & pesto ready in minutes. However, I like just making a little bit at a time. Since it’s so simple and relatively quick (and, let’s face it, I have the time) I make myself a few days worth of pesto.
Ingredients:
- · A small handful of toasted pine nuts
- · 10-15 basil leaves
- · 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- · 2 teaspoons of grated parmesan cheese
- · 1 clove of garlic
Mix all ingredients in a food processor, and voila. Presto,
you’ve got pesto. Of course you can add other ingredients (different herbs, sun
dried tomatoes, etc.) I just like mine straightforward. And pesto doesn’t just
have to be eaten with pasta. Add it to salads, use it as a sandwich spread,
make little canapés… Be creative with this simply delicious summer recipe :)
