Ingredients
- 8-10 medium sized ripe tomatoes (4 cups chopped)
- ½-1 clove of garlic
- 1-2 2 slices raw onion (if you have trouble eating raw onions try chives or green onions)
- 5-6 fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 dashes hot pepper flakes if desired (I added 2 dashes and it was perfect)

EXTRAS
- 3 cups cooked pasta

Instructions
- Using either a blender, bullet or a food processor (I used a bullet only because that was what was available and it worked great) add all ingredients (you may have to add half the ingredients if there is not enough room in your machine) except the parmesan cheese.
- Blend until everything comes together, or until it reaches the desired texture (I left it a little on the chunky side, not creamy creamy). Makes approximately 1 3/4 cups enough for 2 meals of 3 cups of cooked pasta. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- The jar of pesto lasts in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. Add a little more olive oil when mixing or before serving.
