To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook my simple pesto recipe using 13 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make My Simple Pesto Recipe:

1. Make ready 3 cups packed Fresh Basil, leaf and stems (8 ounces by weight ) approximately 3 cups packed
2. Prepare 15 ounces Extra virgin olive oil
3. Make ready 2 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, fresh grated (not processed)

Steps to make My Simple Pesto Recipe:

2. Place in food processor (or blender) in order; garlic cloves, basil, parmesan cheese, 1/2 the olive oil, then pulse
3. Slowly add rest of olive oil while pulsing
4. Keep pulsing until wet sand consistency, should be uniform in size and texture.
5. Taste, add 1/2 tsp of kosher salt if needed, never use table salt as it should never be used for cooking, or consumption in my opinion.
6. Store in refrigerator (will last at least 1 week - can be frozen if making larger batches).
7. Put away food and wash equipment and let dry
8. Mix or add to favorite foods for fun twists (Great on; pasta, pizza, in sauces, hummus, salad dressing, dips, mayonnaise, potato salad, gnocchi)
