Simply scrumptious pesto recipe.
3 cups basil leaves (fresh is absolutely the best)
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained & roughly chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese (finely grated)
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
With your food processor or hand-held blender, combine sun-dried tomatoes, basil and garlic.
Add cheese, pine nuts and half the olive oil.
Continue blending, gradually adding the salt & pepper, and the last half of the olive oil.
Ensure the ingredients are well-combined.
Sauce is sensational when mixed with sour cream and used as a dip. Or use your pesto pasta or fish dish.
