Pesto is usually expensive, but if you make your own, along with a pleasure of making it, you'll get a lot of it for a fraction of price - freshness is a bonus!
Ingredients:
50 g fresh basil leaves
2 cloves garlic, pressed
40 g grated Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese
25 g pine nuts (or walnuts)
125 ml extra virgin olive oil
Method:
Use your food processor, or pestle and mortar.
Put all the ingredients except oil in a food processor and pulse until combined. While running, pour olive oil until smooth, but not mushy - ingredients should be still recognisable.
Enjoy with pasta, or mixed with rice/bread crumbs for different fillings.
