All pesto is good; this one is especially so. The amounts of individual herbs can be varied to suit preference or availability. Just be sure to use very pungent flavors in smaller quantities to maintain a balanced final taste.
Six Herb Pesto Recipe (+)
Directions
Pesto can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen; bring to room temperature before serving.
If making pesto and pasta at the same time, put pasta water on to boil.
Put all ingredients into food processor and pulse until roughly puréed. Taste for seasoning, add salt, if needed.
When ready to serve, stir in about 1/4 cup very hot water (using the pasta cooking water is traditional) to thin the pesto to a good serving consistency--that little bit of heat also intensifies the flavors.
