Basil Pesto

Ingredients:

• 1 or 2 cups Bunch of basil leaves
• 1/2 Cup roasted peanuts  
• 2 tbsp. Olive oil 
• 5-6 Garlic Cloves 
• 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan or Cheddar 

Method:

1. Wash the basil. 
2. In a blender add the basil, peanuts, olive oil and garlic cloves. Since I love garlic I add 5-6 cloves, you can add fewer and it will still taste fine. 
3. Blend to a paste. 
4. Next add the cheese & give it one more blitz. The cheese adds the saltiness to the pesto, so no need for extra salt. 

Basil pesto is ready. I love to serve mine with pasta, sandwiches or veggie pizza.
