Basil Pesto Recipe

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves from your garden is best!
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pine nuts
  • 2/3 cup organic extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly graded Parmesan cheese
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Add the basil, garlic, and walnuts to the food processor and process until everything is chopped. Sometimes the garlic is stubborn so I cut it into slices before throwing it in.
  • Using the hole in the top of the processor, slowly pour in the olive oil while running the food processor to incorporate the oil.
  • Then add the Parmesan and salt and process until combined
