The ingredients needed to make Pesto of basil and pine nuts:

Your pesto sauce is now finished! My favorite way to enjoy this is simply tossed with hot pasta-try sprinkling some extra Parmesan and pine nuts on top of the pasta for an extra flavor boost. Collect a large amount of Italian basil from your favorite farmers' market or yuppie supermarket. (Don't use Thai basil, as the flavor is strong enough to be bitter in pesto.) The traditional version: Add pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, parmesan cheese, and salt to taste. Basil Pesto recipe is made with fresh basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, parmesan cheese & other ingredients.
Instructions to make Pesto of basil and pine nuts:
- Rinse your basil well e.g. in water with baking soda
- Dry in sieve and with paper towels (if you're in a hurry)
- Add to powerful blender (I use a thermomix)
- Now continue adding the rest of the ingredients
- Close lid and and if you are using - as I am - a tmx, place the tmx spatula into the gap of the lid and push down
- Process at speed 8 for 20sec while swiveling the spatula back and forth
- If you prefer your pesto smoother with fewer chunks of pine nuts and all leaves nicely pureed, continue previous step until desired consistency
- After having repeated once step 6, I got my favorite texture of pesto, but my family prefers 15 sec longer, so by then it is very creamy
- Now store in airtight containers and keep refridgerated up to two weeks. Just make sure the surface is always covered with a bit of olive oil before closing and storing.
- Or freeze pesto in ice cube makers and take out when needed for pepping up a boring tomato sauce or just enjoy it on its own. Pesto with any pasta or on bread is amazing !!!
- You can add lemon juice, garlic or even hummus. Any variations possible with this basic recipe !! Have fun
