Ingredients
- 1 cup basil leaves
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- dash of salt
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. You may need more or less olive oil. You want the mixture to be smooth not lumpy. This is a hundred times better than store bought pesto.
Comments
I love pesto sauce. This is one Italian version of making it. This sauce is so versatile. If you like olive oil, pine nuts and fresh basil you will like this sauce.
