Although I have tried a few pesto recipes, I have found this classic recipe from Sunset Magazine, to be the best. My kids love pesto pasta and since it has olive oil, it has those omega-3s that I love to include. Since we receive basil from our farm often, I make this recipe every other week, at least.
Here is the very simple recipe:
Prep time: about 10 minutes
Put all these ingredients into the blender and blend until creamy:
1/2 cup basil leaves, 4 large medium peeled garlic cloves, 1/3 cup shredded romano cheese, 3 tbsp pine nuts (optional- I don't put these in), 2 tbsp minced parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup olive oil
Prepare favorite pasta and pour pesto mixture on top right away, mix and serve.
