Parsley is growing like wildfire in the garden at the moment and so pesto is turning up in my family’s dinners.It’s great to use what’s seasonal and what’s in abundance. So I thoughts I’d share an easy peasy pesto recipe!
Ingredients
- ½ Cup of pine nuts
- 1 Cup parsley
- 3 cloves garlic
- ⅓ Cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 Cup of Olive Oil
- Salt
Instructions
- Bang ½ Cup of pine nuts, 1 Cup parsley, 3 cloves garlic, a grind of salt & ⅓ Cup Parmesan Cheese into a blender and whiz.
- Slowly add 1/2 Cup of Olive Oil (or a dash more depending on how you like the texture).
- Then, there you have it – pesto in a tick-or-two.
Notes
- I put the latest batch through some gluten-free pasta and it made for a delicious & fresh meal. ps a mate told me that when she doesn’t have pine nuts at the ready she even uses walnuts instead – sounds yum!
