Basil Pesto!

Here’s a simple and super delicious basil pesto recipe from @chefguntas

“This pesto recipe is my all-time staple and makes for a dipping and cooling sauce. Once you get hooked on to this, there’s just no going back! 🤤🌱

INGREDIENTS:

  • -2 cups fresh basil leaves

  • -1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • -1/3 cup roasted walnuts

  • -3 garlic cloves, minced

  • -1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • -Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

  1. 💚 Pesto is traditionally made on a mortar and pestle and we’ve made it just like that. However, if you don’t have one, you can make it using a food processor.

  2. 💚 We’ve made it with walnuts which can be replaced with cashews, almonds or even pine nuts: which is how it’s traditionally made.”
