Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 75 g Basil, fresh
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Pine nuts
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 7-10 Tbsp ½ tsp salt
  • 200 ml Olive oil, extra virgin
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Parmesan, freshly grated

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix all the ingredients except the Parmesan cheese with a blender, adding the individual ingredients little by little. When everything is pureed, stir in the Parmesan cheese.

  2. 2

    Pour the pesto into a glass and close it well (results in approx. 300 ml). The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.

    Tip: If it is used as a pasta sauce, dilute the pesto with some cooking liquid of the pasta when serving. If there is a small layer of olive oil on the pesto, it will keep longer in the refrigerator.
