One Classy Dish Recipe

 Classic Pesto

• 1 bunch basil leaves
• 1 handful parsley
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
• 1 garlic cloves
• 2/3 cup olive oil

1. Put the first 5 ingredients in a food processor, or use a mortar & pestle.

2. Blend together & add olive oil in a steady stream until you have the consistency you desire.

3. Lightly toss the pesto through freshly cooked warm pasta or seal pesto in a air tight container & store in the fridge.

Pesto is a pretty straight forward recipe & there is not much that can be modified to keep the integrity of a classic pesto sauce. In this specific recipe you can remove the parsley & still have a fine pesto, but I like the extra touch.
