Pesto

Ingredients :

2 cups (500 g) fresh basilica (pressed) leaves only (no stems)
3 garlic cloves
2/3 cup (150 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (50 g) pinholes (pine nuts)
1 teaspoon (5 ml) coarse salt



Preparation:

In a blender, mix all ingredients except the olive oil.

Chopped finely, and then add gradually the oil.

Serve on pasta.

Note: Since the Pesto blackens rapidly, we must keep it refrigerated or frozen in a sealed container and make sure a layer of olive oil covers it.
