  • 5 to 10 garlic cloves to taste
  • A drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the basil leaves.

  3. Add more olive oil or more parmesan cheese to desired consistency.

Add sun-dried tomatoes for a "Pesto Rosso".

→ USEFUL TIP: To have pesto all year long, freeze pesto in ice cube trays. Once frozen, store pesto cubes in zipper bags up to one year.
