Pesto

Ingredients

  • 25g fresh basil leaves (roughly one large bunch, packed).
  • 25g finely diced Parmesan (or Parmigiano-Reggiano).
  • 15g pine nuts (lightly toasted if you want extra depth).
  • 1 cloves of garlic (peeled).
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil.
  • 1ml coarse sea salt.

Directions

  • Put 30ml of the oil and the rest of the ingredients into the food mixer.
  • Pulse until the parmesan is grated.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil until a green paste is achieved.

Add 15ml per portion of cooked pasta. Makes 7 portions! Put into a jar, seal, and keep for 3-5 days in the fridge. Top with some extra olive oil to keep the green colour. Or freeze in an ice cube tray.
