Easy Basil Pesto
Ingredients
Scale
- 30–50 fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2–3 tbsp almonds
- 3–4 tbsp parmesan cheese,grated
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Historically, pesto is made by crushing the leaves with mortar and pestle but of course, I used a food processor to combine and blend all the ingredients. Just put everything inside the food processor and blend until smooth.
- If you are going to make Spaghetti Al Pesto, cook spaghetti according to package direction and just mix in 3-4 tbsp of pesto to a plate of spaghetti. Sprinkle grated Parmesan Cheese on top and serve.
