Basil Pesto

Serves 6

Preparation:  10 minutes

Utensils

• Storage flask with lid
• Electric hand whisk
• Scales
• Measuring jug for oil

Ingredients

• 2 packs or good bunches of Basil
  
• 1 large bunch or pack of Parsley
  
• Generous handful of pine nuts
  
• 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped ( we like quite a lot and the flavour surprisingly gets lost in pasta!)
  
• 100g of grated Parmesan Cheese
  
• 150 ml good quality olive oil
  
• Seasoning

Method

Combine all the ingredients into a food processor and whizz.    You can adjust amounts according to taste, but this pasta has a super flavour and is very popular with this family!
