7 pesto food processor Recipes

fresh basil (i can usually grab a package for $2.00 at my local latino grocery store) - just rinse really well., garlic cloves-minced, water -or less (optional is making a less calorie version + 4 tbsp olive oil), olive oil -or less (i happen to have spanish olive oil which provides a little extra taste similar to that of extra virgin olive oil.), walnuts, freshly grated parmesan cheese (it doesn tsp have to be parmegiano reggiano which is super expensive - but do not use that stuff from the green can people - oh you know exactly what i am talking about) - and grating it yourself also saves on money. i can usually get a decent brand for $5-6 dollars a good sized wedge that lasts me a month from the cheese section at the large grocery store- and i use slivers of it over salads, and any pasta dishes., kosher or sea salt & freshly cracked pepper, equipment needed, blender or food processor (i have made pesto in both successfully), cutting board, paper towels or clean hand towels
