To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have my simple pesto recipe using 13 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make My Simple Pesto Recipe:
  1. Make ready 3 cups packed Fresh Basil, leaf and stems (8 ounces by weight ) approximately 3 cups packed
  2. Get 15 ounces Extra virgin olive oil
  3. Get 2 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, fresh grated (not processed)
  4. Get 3 cloves Garlic
  5. Make ready 1/2 tsp Kosher salt or Sea salt (Do not use table salt/ Iodized salt for cooking or for consumption)
  6. Take Equipment Needed:
  7. Get 1 dry cup measure
  8. Get 1 cup liquid measure
  9. Prepare 1 Tablespoon measure
  10. Take 1/2 Teaspoon measure
  11. Prepare 1 Collander/Strainer
  12. Take Optional: small scale (for weighing basil)
  13. Get Food processor or blender

Turn the food processor on medium setting until a green paste begins to form. Method Peel the garlic, then pound in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt. Pick, roughly chop and add the basil leaves, then bash to a paste (or pulse in a food processor). Add the pine nuts (very lightly toast first, if you like) to the mixture and pound again, then stir in half the Parmesan.

Instructions to make My Simple Pesto Recipe:
  1. Wash Basil in sink and drain with Collander/ Strainer
  2. Place in food processor (or blender) in order; garlic cloves, basil, parmesan cheese, 1/2 the olive oil, then pulse
  3. Slowly add rest of olive oil while pulsing
  4. Keep pulsing until wet sand consistency, should be uniform in size and texture.
  5. Taste, add 1/2 tsp of kosher salt if needed, never use table salt as it should never be used for cooking, or consumption in my opinion.
  6. Store in refrigerator (will last at least 1 week - can be frozen if making larger batches).
  7. Put away food and wash equipment and let dry
  8. Mix or add to favorite foods for fun twists (Great on; pasta, pizza, in sauces, hummus, salad dressing, dips, mayonnaise, potato salad, gnocchi)
  9. Note: I have used both a food processor and a good blender (Ninja) both worked for me. It is important to put the cheese on top of the basil to help hold down the basil for a smoother and consistent texture through out.
