Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup pine nuts
4 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves (2 ounces)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until golden and fragrant, tossing once, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet to prevent further browning.

I thought this pesto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pesto turned out really oily. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I love that this pesto is made with olive oil instead of butter. It makes it a healthier option, and it still tastes amazing.

This pesto is a great way to use up fresh basil. I had a bunch of basil that was about to go bad, so I made a big batch of pesto and froze it. Now I have delicious pesto on hand whenever I need it.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this pesto was to make. I didn't have a food processor, so I just used a mortar and pestle. It took a little longer, but it was still worth it.
