Homemade Pesto Sauce Recipe

Pesto is a classic Italian flavoring. This homemade pesto recipe features flavors of fresh basil, pine nuts, and garlic. Perfect when combined with pasta or chicken.

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of fresh basil leaves, stems removed
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano Cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

What you need:

  • Food processor

Instructions

  1. Combine the basil leaves and pine nuts in the food processor and pulse a few times. Add the garlic, then pulse a few more times.
  2. Slowly pour the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on, occasionally stopping to scrape down the excess from the sides with a spatula.
  3. Next, add the grated cheese, salt, and black pepper and pulse again until completely blended.
