Home made pesto is soooo good! I love having it for a hot summer day to mix with cold bow-tie pasta, cherry tomatoes and prosciutto...mmmm. So how do you make pesto? SOOO easy!
Toast walnuts or pine nuts until you smell them... that's when they are done.
Blend lots of basil, parmigiano reggiano, a few garlic cloves, toasted walnuts and lots of olive oil in a food processor.
I froze the pesto in ice cube trays (the same ones that I use for baby food) and will bag them once frozen. It is the perfect thing to pop out of the freezer and use in a pinch! You can also add a cube to spaghetti or even salad dressing for flavor.
