This recipe is simply scrumptious and a bargain to boot. Gather a nice big bunch of basil leaves, two cups total, from your kitchen garden or greengrocer. Give the leaves a good cold rinse and place them on a clean tea towel to air-dry. You will also need the following:
- 1 fresh lemon
- 3 peeled garlic cloves
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- ½ cup pine nuts
- Sea salt
Place the pine nuts and the garlic on a baking sheet in the oven at 375 degrees for five to ten minutes or until the pine nuts begin to turn slightly golden. Do NOT wait until they turn brown, though. Then take everything and put it into a blender or food processor. Before you put the lid in place, cut the lemon in half and squeeze out a nice dollop of fresh juice into the mix and grind in a healthy dash of sea salt. Blend away until you have a lovely green pesto sauce you can put on anything. Perfect pesto in ten minutes flat! Based on the benefits of this herb, it might be the perfect dish to serve up after an emotionally hard week as it is a bringer of peace. Also good for date night or when you need to brew up good money mojo! Boil up a pot of pasta while you are concocting the blissful basil blend, and you will have a sumptuous weeknight supper for the family on the table so quickly, they will be sure you are using witchcraft!
