About the recipe
This easy, beautiful pesto recipe is absolutely bursting with fresh herby flavour.
Recipe From
½ a clove of garlic
1 big bunch of fresh basil
1 handful of pine nuts
1 good handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
extra virgin olive oil
optional: 1 lemon
You may think it’s nice to toast the pine nuts until they’re golden, to give them a nutty taste, but the really good pestos I’ve tasted in Italy just have them very lightly toasted, to give a creaminess rather than a nuttiness.
