I trimmed my mom's basil plant and decided to make some pesto! I hope you like it :)
Vegan, soy free, gluten free | Serves 8 | SAUCE
Ingredients:
- 300g fresh basil
- 120ml extra virgin olive oil
- 30g pine nuts
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:
1.Remove the basil leaves from the stems (you can keep the tender ones) and add them to a food processor.

Enjoy!
