Pesto Sauce

Summer is coming soon and I am sure many of you are planting or planning what you will grow in your garden this year. Basil is a versatile herb that has lots of flavor and tons of different uses!
In this recipe, I'll teach you how to make a quick and easy Pesto Sauce that could be used for Pasta (hot or cold), salad dressing, marinade or brushed on garlic toast. Easily refrigerated or put in the freezer, the sauce can be used over and over again.

What you will need:

5 big bunches of basil
1/2 cup of pine nuts
1/2 cup of grated cheese (pecorino or locatelli)
1 cup of oil
1/2 cup of water
Salt
Pepper
Food Processor or Blender

Ok, let's get cooking:

This is so easy! Just combine all ingredients into your blender or mixer, run on high until it's blended very well. Check the consistency. If it's very watery or runny, add in some more cheese or oil, depending on the flavor. Add in a pinch of salt and pepper and you are done!

Tip - for extra flavor, add in sun dried tomatoes (about 4 is all you need).

Bon Apetito!
