Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces basil this about 3-4 loosely packed cups or 2 well-packed cups, leaves, 45g
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese 45g, grated
- 1 garlic small clove
- lemon zest of 1/2
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup walnuts 33g
- 1/4 cup olive oil 50g
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add walnuts, parmesan, lemon zest, and garlic into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
- Add basil leaves and pulse until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the food processor running at low speed, add the olive oil in a slow and steady stream until the oil is incorporated.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you'd like your pesto sauce thinner, just add more olive oil.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a more pronounced nutty flavor, you can toast the walnuts first in a dry pan for a minute or so over low heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer them quickly from the pan to the food processor - they can burn quickly.
- Calories = the whole recipe (a little over 3/4 cup). This is only an estimate!
