We love pesto, and since our basil plants are doing well this year, we decided it was time to make some basil pesto. We used this recipe from Simply Recipes. It's easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. I use 1 clove of garlic (instead of 3) and if I'm freezing any I leave out the parmesan cheese and garlic until I defrost it (garlic can get bitter when frozen and cheese doesn't always hold its flavor well).
We enjoyed our basil pesto sandwiched between slices of an organic sourdough baguette and heirloom tomato fresh from the farmer's market. Simple, fresh and delicious. Just the way I like it!
