Pesto Please!

P.S. It's Keto friendly and Nut Free!




Recipe


Ingredients:



1 1/2 cups of tightly-packed fresh basil

1/2 cup of parmigiano reggiano, grated

1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil

juice of 1 lemon

1/2 t of minced garlic

a pinch of salt

a pinch of pepper




Instructions:


First, clean your hands, and your workspace. This recipe is so easy it can be made in a blender ( that is what I used). Wash your basil, and cut off the stems. In a blender or a food processor, add the basil, garlic, lemon , and olive oil. Pulse, 4 times, then add the grated parmesan, add in a bit more olive oil, the salt and pepper. If necessary, add more olive oil if it is not blending well.

Store in a fridge for up to 6 days in an air-tight container. Can be frozen for longer storage, but it doesn't look as green and vibrant after thawing.
