Basil Pesto

Basil Pesto

I had a plethora of basil growing in my herb garden, so I decided to make some fresh pesto.  Pesto is so easy to make and tastes amazing on meat, sandwich wraps, as a veggie dip and so much more.

Ingredients:

3 cups fresh basil

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

1/4 cup pine nuts

2 garlic cloves minced

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to food processor.  Pulse to mix.  Add more olive oil if needed to reach desired consistency.
  2. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
