DinnerWhether you like basil pesto pasta or other pesto uses, here's the essential basil pesto recipe. Pesto ingredients include basil, olive oil, parmesan cheese and pine nuts.

Ingredients


Methods
  1. Place the pine nuts, basil, garlic, parmesan and olive oil in a small food processor and whizz until finely chopped.


Tips & Hints
  1. Pesto will keep for 2-3 days in a sterilised jar in the fridge. Be sure to add an extra 1-2cm of olive oil to cover the surface which help prevent pesto from oxidising and going brown.
