Basil Pesto — Italian recipe
Basil Pesto, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Basil Pesto

Basil, toasted pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan and olive oil, blitzed in a food processor in about ten minutes. Making it yourself costs a fraction of the jarred kind and tastes like a different sauce entirely.
