Best Pesto Ever Recipe
This is the most authentic homemade pesto recipe I have ever had! The perfect combination of ingredients that result in the perfect pesto! Store pesto in the fridge for 1 month, or in the freezer for 4-6 months.

Ingredients
  • • 1/4 cup walnuts (I use pecans)
  • • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • • 1 tablespoon softened butter
  • • 3/4 cup firmly packed basil leaves
  • • 1/4 cup firmly packed parsley leaves
  • • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • • 1/4 cup freshly grated Romano cheese

Directions
  1. Place pecans, pine nuts, salt, pepper, garlic, butter, basil, and parsley in to a blender or food processor.
  2. Turn the blender on, and add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream.
  3. Continue processing until a soft paste has formed. Fold in Parmesan and Romano cheeses.
  4. Store in the refrigerator covered by 1/4 inch of olive oil to prevent the surface from turning brown.
