Ingredients:
- 30g pine nuts
- 40g basil leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 60g Parmesan
- 1⁄2 level teaspoon salt
- 125ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 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.

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.
