 | | Directions |
- Place leaves in food processor and chop coarsely.
- Add remaining ingredients and pulse, scraping down the sides of the container when necessary, until all contents are well blended into a medium-thick paste. Taste the pesto for seasoning and add salt, if needed.
- Thin with a little water if too thick.
- If you have access to an abundance of basil, make excess pesto and freeze it for future use.
