Pesto

3-4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 garlic clove
• 1 bunch of basil
• a handful of pine nuts
• parmesan (like a third of a block?)
• olive oil
• salt
• optional: lemon

Recipe

1. Blend pine nuts and garlic.
2. Grate parmesan and add.
3. Add basil and pulse blend to not overheat the leaves.
4. Add a pinch of salt, and then olive oil, to have a paste but not too oily.
5. Something that works really well is lemon zest and a bit of lemon juice.
