Pesto is a sauce of pasta, Italian pesto, also translated as green sauce. This sauce is made by grinding basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.
The prepared sauce can be used not only for noodles, but also for kneading bread and even dipping big buns. The taste is absolutely top-notch, especially the freshly made one, which is hundreds of times better than the finished product on the market.

Ingredients

30g Basil
2 cloves Garlic
100ml Virgin Olive Oil
25g Parmesan Cheese
30g Pine Nuts
1g Salt
a little Pepper

Pesto

1. Prepare basil

2. Pat two garlic cloves and chop them.

3. Parmesan cheese grated coarsely.

4. The pine nuts are crispy and yellow when roasted. Note here I use sunflower seeds, the taste is similar.

5. Put garlic, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, salt and pepper into the food processor, and pour olive oil.

6. And basil leaves are also put into the food processor.

7. Just start the cooking machine to puree it.

8. Pour the beaten sauce into a bottle and place it in the refrigerator for storage.
Note: After standing still, there must be a layer of clear oil on the surface to protect the sauce from being blue and not oxidized.

9. The prepared green sauce can be mixed with pasta.

10. You can also spread the bread, but the bread is not the kind of sweet bread.

Tips:
1. Pine nuts are not easy to find. They can be replaced with other nuts such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, etc. They are all good, I will use sunflower seeds instead.
2. After pouring the beaten sauce into the bottle and letting it stand, there must be a layer of clear oil on the surface to protect the sauce from being blue and not oxidized.
3. Pasta sauces include red sauce, green sauce, white sauce and black sauce.
