I LOVE pesto and all things basil! At the moment I have 4 basil plants growing, one in the ground and three in pots. I know, it is a little excessive, but to make pesto you need a ton of basil.
This picture is pretty ugly, but you can imagine how delicious this creamy spread tastes!
Almost Oil-less Basil Pesto Recipe/Ingredient List
- huge bunch of fresh basil
- handful of raw almonds
- big splash of lemon juice
- 1 tsp. olive oil – I don’t know if you even need this.
- handful of fresh parmesan
- salt and pepper
Blend everything in the magic bullet or a small food processor. Add more of anything you like. This recipe is based on taste preference.
Wow, this sounds great. I am going to try this next time I am in the mood for pesto.
