- Place the garlic, parmesan, and pine nuts in your kitchen whizz and blend to a grunty paste (not too fine).
- Add the basil leaves and olive oil.
- Blend until you reach a desired paste. Season and use as required.
We love pesto with pasta, on pizza base, on steak, chicken dishes, with tomato on crackers and spooned into mince and vegetarian dinners.
This will keep for about 3 weeks in the fridge. Or freeze it and enjoy the summery taste of perfect pesto over the cooler wintery months.
This makes one jar but just double or triple to your heart's content!
