Pesto is a classic Italian sauce that originated in Genoa. It's made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Using a food processor can make the process easier and faster. Here's what you'll need: Ingredients: - 2 cups fresh basil leaves - 2 cloves garlic - 1/4 cup pine nuts - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup olive oil Steps: 1. In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts. Pulse a few times to chop. 2. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Continue to process until the mixture is smooth. 3. Add the Parmesan cheese and pulse a few times to combine. 4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Pesto sauce is great on pasta, pizza, sandwiches, and more. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
