Easy Homemade Pesto Recipe

Make sure to REPIN this recipe 🙂

I am VERY excited this is the sixth recipe from Marie the first recipe ( Spinach and Artichoke Dip Recipe ( Recipes from Marie) )

If you have no idea who Marie is – go HERE – I found a vintage recipe box in a local antique store so I am making and posting one her recipes weekly on Tuesday

Today is Easy Homemade Pesto Recipe

I really hope you check back weekly for another recipe from Marie — pretty please comment ( let’s make this like a little community)

You will be able to tell which recipes are hers by the flower on the picture above 🙂

I have a confession to make – I have a pretty BIG OBSESSION with pesto sauce — I can literally eat it by the spoonful…. It has two of my favorite things EVER – BASIL and CHEESE

I am pairing my pesto sauce with some nice Fettuccine ( But I love it as a dipping sauce for veggies) – total YUM moment

A must in my family is to toast the pine nuts ( to save money on the pine nuts I go to the bulk section at my local grocer )

Toasted pine nuts really make a difference – also the garlic cloves really help develop the flavor 🙂

This recipe makes about 1/2 cup worth of sauce – enough for about 1 pound of pasta

I liked Marie’s recipe – but I developed it a bit. Added the garlic, salt, and pepper – also in the original recipe she used 1 cup of olive oil. I think that is a little too much oil so I reduced it 🙂

If you do make the Easy Homemade Pesto Recipe please make sure to comment and let us know what you think 🙂

Enjoy!
