basil pesto

Basil pesto is a typical Italian sauce that you can use as topping for pizzas, sauce for pasta and I also spread it on focaccia or burgers. It is rich in flavour and very easy to make and I always have it in the fridge!

Preparation: 10 mins

Ingredients for 200gr:

 60gr fresh basil

20gr parmesan cheese

0.5 teaspoon salt

2 cloves garlic

75ml extra virgin olive oil

20gr pinenuts

• place all the ingredients in a robot, mini piper or blender and blend until you get a very smooth paste

• place in a clean glass jar and put olive oil on top to prevent the sauce from getting black
• store in the fridge- it keeps for 1 week
