Presto Pesto!




Do you want to know how to make a pretty mean dish of Pesto? Well today is your lucky day! Just follow the simple instructions:

Okay you will need:
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup pignoli (pine nuts)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped garlic (9 cloves)
  • 5 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups good olive oil
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan


Okay start of with any noodles you want. I prefer to mix match add a little flavor.






Get a good size pot, and fill it with water remember your going to boil your noodles.



Once your done it should be more than half way full.



You must, I mean you have to wait till the water boils! It's a must!


Just let the noodles slide in. Let them cook for about 11 minutes.






While the noodles are boiling you should cut the garlic,walnuts, and pine nuts. Make sure you have the correct measurements. Get the salt, pepper, basil and oil ready.



But the chopped garlic, pine nuts, and walnuts in the food processor.
Once you put everything in food processor don't forget to turn it on. It's a big factor.



Be sure to keep the processor it on for about 15 seconds. It should look like this.



Don't forget about the noodles! Once they are done be sure to drain the from the water.


Once the noodles are drain be sure to put the in a bowl.

Once you put the noodles in a bowls add a little flavor. My choice is a little oil and some cheese.

Be sure to mix it in I personally love to have a little fun.
Once your done with the noodles, add the salt and pepper to the food.


Once you add the salt and pepper don't forget put the oil and basil in!



Now it is important to add the cheese.



Okay now turn the processor on. You HAVE to turn it on its a must.



Keep the processor on for about 15 seconds.


Now once the blending is done the sauce should look like this.
Now you can put the two noodles together so people can choice what they want.



Pour the Pesto into a bowl big enough for it.



Let the people decide how much they want to use.

FINAL step! This is the most important step you must, I mean u HAVE to eat it. Trust me it is worth all the carbs your going to get.
