This is a wonderful way to use fresh basil and since pesto freezes well, it’s the perfect way to preserve basil so you can use it throughout the year.
This recipe is for one batch. We make enough batches to put in freezer containers so it will last us throughout the year.
Ingredients
4 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 garlic cloves
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 TBSP freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 TBSP freshly grated Romano cheese
