This is a fantastically strong tasty basil pesto. Make lots and keep what’s left over from dinner in the fridge to have on toast or as a dip later in the week.

ingredients

  • 150g pine kernels
  • 8 cloves of garlic
  • one large bunch of basil
  • 200g parmiggiano
  • slug of virgin olive oil
  • salt to taste

directions

  • 1

    peel and chop the garlic roughly

  • 2

    wash the basil and shred it

  • 3

    put all the ingredients except the oil into a blender

  • 4

    add the oil slowly until the desired consistency is achieved

  • 5

    I prefer it rough and chunky

  • 6

    cook pasta (rotini or radiatore is nicest as the pesto clings to it)

  • 7

    stir the pesto through.
