Categories     Condiment/Spread     Herb     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, rinsed and dried
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
4 tbsp freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano
1/4 cup good extra virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove
big squeeze of fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pulse together basil and walnuts in a food processor (I used my mini one for this batch - easy clean up - but feel free to double the recipe if you're in need of a bigger batch). Add garlic and olive oil. Pulse again. Add cheese, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Pulse until just blended. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and pulse a few more times. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Add more olive oil before serving, if taken straight from the fridge.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, but I really enjoyed this pesto. The walnuts and Parmesan cheese balance out the basil flavor perfectly.

I was a bit skeptical about using walnuts in pesto, but I'm so glad I tried it. They add a really unique flavor that I love.

This pesto is amazing! The flavors are so bright and fresh, and the walnuts add a really nice crunch. I used it on pasta, but I think it would also be great on grilled chicken or fish.
