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.

| Yummy Pesto Sauce! |
I love growing basil each summer. It's so easy to plant and it grows very fast. A few years ago I did a blog post on making pesto sauce from the basil seeds that we planted.
This year I bought the little basil plant (shown above) from Home Depot's garden section and planted it in a large container.
It's so easy to make pesto sauce, and below are all the ingredients you need to make your own. Some recipes call for pine nuts, but I leave them out of my recipe.
I added the ingredients to my NutriBullet, and then blended it for a few seconds.
** If you do not have a NutriBullet, you can blend yours in the blender or food processor.
Below you can see how it's blended in the NutriBullet.
The pesto sauce can be made in minutes! Below you can find the recipe to make your own Pesto Sauce.

Below you will find a chart for how long you can keep Pesto in the refrigerator or freezer.
I made the pesto sauce and then added it to Rotini pasta. This pesto pasta dish tasted so good and fresh. It's perfect for a summer dinner, and it can be used as a side dish to chicken, fish, and meat.
I hope you enjoy making and eating pesto sauce as much as we do!
Thanks everyone for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.
I will be ready to help co-host Jess on Monday for our Cooking and Crafting with J & J Link Up.

This year my daughter and her friend planted basil on Earth Day back in April. They planted the basil from seeds and and it grew into large basil plants. To use it up I decided to make Pesto Sauce.
I picked 2 cups of fresh basil leaves to make the pesto sauce.
I made tortellini pasta with the Pesto Sauce. You can use any kind of pasta you like!
This pesto sauce tastes so amazing and I made it for my family two times already!
