Italian Pesto Recipe

(Serves 3-4)
Ingredients

25g fresh basil leaves
2 juicy garlic cloves
25g pine nuts
150ml extra-virgin olive oil
50g Parmesan cheese, grated finely (optional)

Method

1 Place the basil leaves, nuts, garlic and extra virgin olive oil into a food processor or blender and blend to a paste. Season with salt and pepper should you wish, then transfer to a bowl.

    Ah, this looks delicious. I didn’t realize pesto was so simple to make. The canned kind is kind of bogus, I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks!
