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) shopping list
- • 2 tablespoons pine nuts shopping list
- • 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
- • 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- • 1 tablespoon softened butter shopping list
- • 3/4 cup firmly packed basil leaves shopping list
- • 1/4 cup firmly packed parsley leaves shopping list
- • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- • 1/4 cup freshly grated romano cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Place pecans, pine nuts, salt, pepper, garlic, butter, basil, and parsley in to a blender or food processor.
- Turn the blender on, and add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream.
- Continue processing until a soft paste has formed. Fold in Parmesan and Romano cheeses.
- Store in the refrigerator covered by 1/4 inch of olive oil to prevent the surface from turning brown.
