Stop buying pesto today! Non-chefs, start here! It’s simple to make and utterly delicious!
OK, you like pesto. You buy jars of the stuff. Stop that at once! You can make a far more delicious version yourself! If you have never stepped into a kitchen this should be your first dish!
OK:
You need the following:
Basil – some
Parsley – about the same amount.
Pine nuts – about double the amount. Maybe a few more for luck.
garlic – one clove
chop it all up. Mix it with olive oil. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Blend it all together – or if you like a bit of a crunch just mix it gently.
Add a nice helping of Parmesan cheese.
pour over pasta, serve to some friends and lean back and accept the praise!
