Basil Pesto

 

Serves 6

Preparation:  10 minutes

 

Utensils

 

• Storage flask with lid

• Electric hand whisk

• Scales

• Measuring jug for oil

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 2 packs or good bunches of Basil

• 1 large bunch or pack of Parsley

• Generous handful of pine nuts

• 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped ( we like quite a lot and the flavour surprisingly gets lost in pasta!)

• 100g of grated Parmesan Cheese

• 150 ml good quality olive oil

• Seasoning

 

 

 

Method

 

Combine all the ingredients into a food processor and whizz.    You can adjust amounts according to taste, but this pasta has a super flavour and is very popular with this family!
