Fresh basil pesto is so easy to make and one of the most versatile condiments in Italian cooking. It originated in the region of Liguria and when made fresh the salty flavour just dances on your tastebuds.
When making your own pesto at home, the trick is to use fresh basil leaves – either from your own garden, the farmers market or your neighbours!
Be warned, once you start blending the basil, your kitchen will be filled with the most delicious aroma and as soon as you combine the pine nuts and parmigiano you will not be able to resist a few scoops almost right away!
To make pesto sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups fresh basil leaves
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/3 cup pine nuts
– 3 cloves garlic
– 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Here are the steps to make pesto sauce:
1. In a food processor or blender, combine the basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic cloves.
2. Pulse the ingredients until they are roughly chopped and well combined.
3. While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil.
4. Continue processing until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
5. Taste the pesto sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
6. Transfer the pesto sauce to a jar or container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
You can use pesto sauce as a pasta sauce, spread it on sandwiches, or add it to salads for extra flavor. Enjoy!
