Ingredients
3 Cloves of garlic optional
3 cups of fresh basil leaves washed and dried
1 and 1/2 cup pine nuts or walnuts
1/4 tsp salt and crushed black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan grated cheese
Preparation
1. Mix everything together in a blender or food processor until
smooth.
2. Store it in a refrigerator in air tight container. I prefer to make pesto sauce in summer time. When basil is in abundance and fresh. Also, I use basil sauce as sandwich spread and add red ,white and pesto sauces to my pasta.
3. I make vegetable sandwich using cream cheese, pesto sauce, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and bread of choice. This is quick fix to any dull lunch.
