Pesto ala Genovese

I like to make as much of the sauces and spreads I use myself. I'm a huge fan of pesto since it's so handy to have it in the refrigerator. You can make delicious sandwiches with it, and by having a nice homemade pesto in your refrigerator you can easily make a quick and tasty pasta when you're in a hurry or late out of the office. I already posted the recipe for the delicious red pesto and now I would like to share with you my other favorite the green pesto or better known as pesto ala Genovese.

The ingredients:

• Large bunch fresh basil
• 1 large garlic clove
• 35 gr roasted pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (more to taste)
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Pepper & salt to taste
• juice of half a lime

Directions:

Very easy: just put everything in your food processor and mix until you have a smooth paste. Make sure you taste it and add pepper, salt & parmesan cheese to taste. 

Enjoy!
