Summer is coming to an end so if you had a garden and grew basil, you probably have a bunch left.
So make some Pesto, use it tonight and freeze the rest..
When freezing the Pesto I use small freezer bags it's a lot better then putting the Pesto in ice trays. The bags take up less space
Here is my recipe you can adjust it any way you wan. You will notice there are no nuts because of allergies.
Double or triple to freeze
At least 4 large clover of garlic
2-3 cups of basil
about 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
about 12 /cup of grated Italian Parm Cheese
about 1/4 te of red crushed pepper
salt and pepper to taste
Use a food processor or blender
Pulse garlic until it is chopped finely
Add Basil and pepper and chop
Add 1/2 the oil slowly into food processor or blender
Now add the cheese only blend and whirl for a few seconds
Add the remaining oil, salt and pepper
(Hint if it is too thick you add a splash of water or a little more oil)
Use a spatula to get every drop out
Grill up some shrimp, chicken, or vegetables
Boil up some Fettuccine
Combine the Pesto with the pasta and chicken , shrimp. or vegetables
ENJOY!!!
