Everyone bring your food processor!
The smell of pesto sauce always reminds me of summers growing up as a kid, and my mom being armed with mountains and mountains of basil in our kitchen!
I remember her pesto sauce recipe never being too heavy, so it was perfect for any summer pasta salads or even over a fresh green bean and potato salad!
Luckily she taught me her recipe and now I get to be the person armed with mountains and mountains of basil! 🙂
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of basil
- 4 large cloves of garlic
- 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup of parmesean cheese
- 1/3 cup of pine nuts
- salt and pepper to taste
Recipe:
- Combine your garlic, basil, pine nuts, and cheese in a food processor and begin to process while drizzling in your olive oil to a smooth consistency (or chunky if you prefer)
- Enjoy your pesto on top of pasta, pizza, or whatever your heart desires!
