Perfect as a dip, a sauce for pasta or a spread in sandwiches and pizza….pesto tastes delicious and is really quick and easy to make.
My version uses rocket, basil and thyme for extra herby yumminess.
Ingredients:
- Rocket leaves – approximately 3 handfuls
- Basil – approcimately 2 handfuls
- Thyme – 6 sprigs
- A handful of pine nuts
- 2 handfuls of grated parmesan cheese
- Good quality olive oil – 3/4 cup
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Half a teaspoon of pepper
- One garlic clove chopped
Method
Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and give it a good blitz. Now you have some delightful pesto 🙂
Tip: Store any extra pesto in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. It will last at least 5 days in the fridge 🙂
