Look at the color of this pesto. It is incredible and will zest up any recipe. Top on pasta, veggies or even a burger. You will love the flavor of fresh, homemade pesto instead of a jarred, storebought version.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Prep basil (2 cups packed), by removing the leaves from the stems.
2. Place the following ingredients in your blender or food processor in the following order: olive oil, basil, garlic clove, lemon juice, walnuts, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese.
4. Blend to desired consistency.
5. If dressing pasta, utilize 1/2 cup of pesto sauce per pound of pasta. Tastes great on fish, eggs, even toast. Enjoy!
