Man that looks delicious! Store bought pesto? Recipe/directions?😁


No, we make it and put in jars and freeze it.

5 cups basil leaves
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup pine nuts
10 cloves of garlic
1 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cups olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Food processor - start with nuts and garlic, rough chop. Then add basil and puree it down. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, then add salt and pepper and finally cheese.

Air will brown it, so we put it in small jars and put 1/4 inch of olive oil on top and freeze it. We are eating our 2019 stock right now. The basil in the garden is looking puny this year. Hopefully we can get a few jars.

Awesome. We are a pesto household too. Ever make pesto pizza instead of tomato sauce? Game changer....
