Basil Pesto

Perfect basil Pesto


I love having a jar of homemade pesto in the fridge. Obviously its great on pasta but I love it on toast, or served as a dip with plain crostini.For a simple potato salad add some pesto to boiled potatoes, add a little extra Parmesan cheese and a few fresh basil leaves.


Ingredients

1/2 cup lightly toasted pine nuts
2 cups fresh basil leaves
3 cloves garlic crushed
6 tbs olive oil
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method

Place the pine nuts, basil, garlic and cheese in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
With the motor running slowly add the oil until well combined.
