Ingredients:- Fresh basil leaves, washed and stemmed, enough to almost fill a standard blender.
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 limes or lemons, juiced
- 2 to 5 cloves (or more!) garlic, pressed
- sea salt, to taste
- 1/2 to 1 cup pumpkin seeds, walnuts, [or pine nuts]
How to make it:- Grind all ingredients in a blender until you have a course sauce.
Note:
Pesto sauce should never be heated, because this takes away from the freshness of the basil (although it is okay to reheat it along with any leftovers).
