Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
Notes
- This recipe makes one cup ish (15 tablespoons). One serving is 2 tablespoons.
- The kind of basil you choose will affect the flavor. Sweet basil was used for this recipe however Thai basil gives it a wonderful flavor for pasta.
- The oil you choose will also alter the flavor. Flax oil can have a very unique taste so if you don't love it, don't use it. Avocado oil and olive oil work really well.
- Store it in the fridge in a jar for 7-10 days to stay fresh.
- Grab the ingredients you need from my Pantry Staples.
