Basil Pesto

This is good on pasta or as a spread on your sandwich. I love pesto but the prepared one from the store seems very oily. You can control that by making it yourself!


Basil Pesto
Makes about 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons)

Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves, washed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts (or other nut of choice)
  • squeeze of lemon juice
  • a few cracks of black pepper
Directions
  1. Put it all in a food processor and let it go until it's a chunky paste. The cheese is salty so I didn't add any extra.
Tips:
  • If it's too thick add a little more oil or a few drops of water. I think a traditional recipe calls for pine nuts so you could certainly substitute those for the walnuts.
