The ingredients needed to make My Simple Pesto Recipe:
  1. Take 3 cups packed Fresh Basil, leaf and stems (8 ounces by weight ) approximately 3 cups packed
  2. Prepare 15 ounces Extra virgin olive oil
  3. Make ready 2 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, fresh grated (not processed)
  4. Prepare 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. Prepare 1 dry cup measure
  8. Prepare 1 cup liquid measure
  9. Make ready 1 Tablespoon measure
  10. Make ready 1/2 Teaspoon measure

Make a Simple Pesto Sauce Put the parmesan cheese in the food processor and pulse until the cheese begins to look like small crumbs. Add the basil and parsley (if using), pine nuts, garlic, and salt and pepper to the food processor. Turn the food processor on medium setting until a green paste begins to form.

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.

Homemade pesto is one of my favorite things to keep around my apartment. It's quick and easy to make and can be used in a variety of dishes. Besides adding it to pasta, I love the flavor of pesto with steak, on baked vegetables, and on my eggs to list a few ideas. I have even replaced the Parmesan with vegan. This easy homemade pesto sauce is better than store-bought pesto sauce.
