Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves (no stems)
- 2 tablespoons chopped blanched almonds without skin
- 2 large cloves of garlic
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Place the fresh basil leaves, blanched almonds, walnuts, and garlic in a food processor or blender and process until they are finely chopped.
- Add the olive oil a little at a time to the blender or food processor and process until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the cheese and process it very briefly, just long enough to combine so you keep some of the grated cheese structure.
- Transfer the homemade pesto sauce inside an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
- You can use blanched almonds (without skin), walnuts, pistachios, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds for this recipe.
