Just harvested my basil so I decided to make these Basil pesto. This is really yummy.
Ingredients :
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts ( I use walnuts . Almonds are recommended too)
3 cloves of garlic
2 cups of fresh basil leaves ( I use 1 cup as I only managed to harvest this much)
1 small handful of fresh parsley ( I omit it as it is mainly for colour)
1/2 Olive oil ( I use extra virgin olive oil)
Salt to taste
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Methods:
Grind the nuts,garlic, basil leaves, salt, parsley and gradually add in the olive oil to get a smooth paste.
Finally add in parmesan cheese and mix till all combine.
The paste is ready for use.
Immediately, I made my Spaghetti with home made pesto. Yummy delicious.
