Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups of Fresh Basil
  • 1 Cup of Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 Head of Garlic roasted

Method
 

  1. Roast the head of garlic with the skin on, until the garlic becomes soft. In a food processor, add your basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and garlic. Run the food processor until you get a nice smooth bright green mixture. You can now choose to use all of this pesto OR do I what I did. Which is pour the pesto into rubber ice trays and then freeze them in the freezer. From there transfer those cubed pestos into a ziplock bag and save for later.
  2. Then when you want, add a 2 cubes of pesto to a pasta or chicken dish.
  3. Enjoy!
