Basil & Walnut Pesto

Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup walnuts
• 3 cloves garlic
• ½ cup olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Add the basil, Parmesan, walnuts and garlic to a food processor.

Blend everything together, then slowly pour in the olive oil while the processor is running. Continue blending until the pesto is smooth and well combined.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

The pesto is now ready to use.

Freezing

If you don’t want to use it straight away, spoon the pesto into an ice cube tray and place it in the freezer.

Once frozen, pop the pesto cubes out of the tray and store them in a freezer bag. You can then take out as many cubes as you need whenever you want to use them.
