Easy Homemade Pesto Recipe
- 2 Cups of Fresh Basil Leaves
- ¾ Cup of Olive Oil
- ½ Cup of Parmesan Cheese
- ⅛ Cup of Pine Nuts
- 2 Cloves of Garlic
- Pinch of Salt and Pepper
- Optional - toast the pine nuts on a cookie sheet for 5 minutes at 350
- In a small food processor or blender - place all the ingredients except for ½ cup of oil
- Start to blend/process - slowly add the oil - once the oil is fully added to the pesto - keep blending for another minutes
- Give it a taste -- add a bit more salt or pepper if it needs it
- This sauce can be kept in a mason jar for up to 10 days
- I love to use it on pasta, veggies, or chicken
