Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2-3 garlic cloves (peeled)
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts (you can also try almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc)
  • 1 cup fresh herb(s) of your choice
  • ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Trick for peeling garlic: separate your garlic cloves from the bulb and place on a cutting board. Place the side of a knife over the clove of garlic and apply pressure. If need be, tap the flat side of the knife with your fist. The skin will easily come away from the garlic clove.
  2. Place your peeled garlic in the food processor and chop it up along. Scrap down the sides and add the remaining ingredients, except the olive oil.
  3. Note: if you are freezing this pesto, don't add the cheese. Cheese doesn't freeze well. Just add cheese to your recipe when using the frozen pesto in a dish.
  4. Stream in the olive oil with the food processor running until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency.
