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!
