Thanks for watching! Check out the recipe here: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13937/pesto/
I could bath in basil as well. Thank you for sharing the pesto. Thanks for the storing tip. Looks amazing. YUM. 🌺
Lovely timing for home gardeners. Plus I'm drooling over your toast sandwich…
I love lightly toasting All my nuts to enhance their flavor whenever I use them.
Looks so delicious. Can’t wait to get some.
Now, that's what I'm talking about. That looks absolutely delicious. 😊😋
Yummy.
Yummy I make my pesto like Nicole's and then freeze the remaining individually in an ice cube tray so they are ready for other meals when pesto is called for. I'll try adding some lemon juice next time. 😃
dang no huge food processor!!!!!!!
For years, Nicole managed to give us killer videos without distracting, low-droning music. Now, however, the post editor manages to wantonly botch it all up with valueless music beds. (Probably a UAB College of Arts and Sciences dropout.)
I gave Nicole and the recipe a "Like." The lousy music was in no way taken into consideration.
What brand food processor are you using
Cannot wait to try this❤❤❤
I am literally drooling from that pizza . you are a cooking woman
Ingredients
3 cups packed fresh basil leaves
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup pine nuts
4 cloves garlic, or to taste
2 teaspoons lemon juice, or more to taste (optional)
Directions
Combine basil, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, pine nuts, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Blend to a smooth paste. Add lemon juice, if desired, and quickly pulse to combine.
That pizza looks amazing. Going to have to try that.

I add small amount of spinach leaves and walnuts
I love pesto as a base for bruschetta too
Toasting tip: Heat the pan empty. Turn off the heat. Add the pine nuts and toss until toasted.
Yum, I add lemon juice also, I was watching this saying what about the lemon juice, she hasn’t used lemon juice, then you go and add it 😂
Love petso
She is amazing
nothing is better than true mortar and pestle made pesto . Game changer! fyi you can freeze batches and have great pesto well into the winter.
