Easy Basil Pesto Recipe
Why buy pesto sauce in a jar when it's so easy to make? It has a special flavor when it's fresh. You can whip this pesto sauce together in a few minutes. Of course, pesto sauce in a jar is still handy to have on hand for times when fresh basil isn't available. Either way, pesto is a delicious accent for chicken and pasta.
Basil Pesto
2 cups of fresh basil leaves
¼ cup olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
¼ cup of pine nuts (Almonds are fine if pine nuts aren’t available.)
1 tsp lemon juice
Put all of the ingredients into a food processor or electric chopper.
Blend until it is creamy.
Refrigerate until ready to use. If it sits overnight the flavors will be more intense.
Use this pesto sauce within a week for freshest flavor.
