Homemade Pesto Ingredients


Homemade Pesto.jpg

    This is the quickest pasta sauce to make and is a really tasty, traditional Italian sauce. It is best made in a food processor, but if you don’t have one, use a large pestle and mortar.
  • 30g pine nuts
  • 40g basil leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 60g Parmesan
  • 1⁄2 level teaspoon salt
  • 125ml extra-virgin olive oil


How to make Homemade Pesto



  • Put all the ingredients into a food processor and whiz until it reaches your ideal texture. Alternatively, pound everything together in a mortar.
  • Serve with hot pasta and extra Parmesan if you wish.
    Variation
  • You can vary this by adding 100g of sun-dried tomatoes instead of the basil and use the oil out of the tomatoes in place of the extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Add a teaspoon of honey to balance out the flavour of the tomatoes.
