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 |
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 walnuts, 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.
