The “Perfect” Pesto Recipe
The Watson family loves this pesto sauce! It is so easy to make and tastes great with cheese and crackers or on a main course. It’s also a great accompaniment to a charcuterie board. Easily made, it can be put together days ahead of time and it keeps in the freezer well. We especially like it with chicken and pasta. Mmm…Yummy!
Ingredients
1/3 cup any roasted nuts
1 ½ cup basil leaves packed
2 cloves garlic
1 ½ tsp lemon juice
½ tsp salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Place all of the ingredients except for the olive oil in a small food processer. Chop the contents together with a few pulses of the processer. Add the oil and process the ingredients until a paste has formed.
Life’s all about family, good friends, great drinks and amazing food – including this perfect pesto recipe!
