Basil pesto is a wonderful source of greens and easily makes many dishes delicious! Some of my favorites are pasta (of corse!) and fresh fish. This recipe freezes very well and thaws in just a few minutes!
Presto Basil Pesto Recipe:
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup parsley
1-3 garlic cloves
2-3 tablespoons fresh basil pesto (don't bother making it if you don't by fresh, sorry!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 pine nuts
Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled! We like to freeze big batches in a shallow container and fork out as much as needed. It will thaw in about 10 minutes on the counter. Just be careful if you decide to heat up the sauce too much (the oil can separate and just not be a fun)!
Wonderful frozen basil pesto that is just as good as fresh!
