Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- This recipe may have a little less oil than you are used to seeing in other pesto recipes, but I like to keep my pesto on the thicker side - good for spreading/dolloping etc. This also means that I can just mix some of the rocket pesto with more olive oil for drizzling/dressings etc.
- This is a recipe where I definitely remove the core from the fresh garlic cloves. For more information on when and how to core garlic cloves, see this post.
