Easy & quick basil pesto

Ingredients for 1 jar for 4 pp

• 50 gr basil, washed and well drained

• 70ml olive oil

• 40 gr grated Grana Padano cheese

• 1/2 garlic clove

• 10 gr pine nuts toasted

Method

To prepare the pesto quickly simply blitz all the ingredients in a processor until you have a grainy paste and season to taste. Don’t over heat it, keep the blitzing to the minimum. The pesto keeps well in the fridge for up to a week into clean glass jar (well covered). Spoon it over roast vegs, meat, or fish or simply enjoy it on pasta or salads.

You can even freeze it!
