Let's Make Pesto Sauce

September 2, 2021


Hello blog friends.

I wanted to share with you an easy recipe for Pesto Sauce before the summer ends.


I love to grow fresh herbs each spring.  I planted two basil plants this year and the plants grew so big.  

I picked basil and rinsed off the leaves with water.



PESTO SAUCE

What You'll Need:

basil
grated cheese
olive oil
garlic cloves
salt & pepper


I added all of the ingredients to the Nutri Bullet.


I pulsed the Nutri Bullet a few times.



PESTO SAUCE



Serving size:  1 cup

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse a few times.  Stop and scrape down the sides with a plastic spatula.

*  Serve over cooked pasta.


NOTES:  I made a large batch of pesto sauce and doubled the recipe. 
  
Yummy Pesto Sauce!

  5. Looks delicious! Wish I still had enough sun to grow basil - used to make pesto and then freeze it in ice cube trays. You have inspired me to visit the farmer's market and get some basil to make a batch. Enjoy - and have a great Labor Day Weekend !
