Basil Pesto
I used to always buy my pesto, but since discovering how easy it is to make, I now make it myself all the time. All you need is a blender or food processor and about five minutes. It stores well in a jar in the fridge for three to five days.
COOKING TIME

MINUTES
Ingredients
1 garlic clove
50g pine nuts
50g Parmesan cheese grated
90g fresh basil leaves
150ml extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Method
Blend the garlic, pine nuts, and the Parmesan using a food processor until smooth.
Add basil leaves and pulse.
With the food processor still running, drizzle the olive oil into the ingredients until combined.
Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. It is very important to taste to ensure the seasoning is just right.
