Pesto is a such an easy thing to make and is so delicious that I do n’t know why more people do n’t make it . This summer I made impudent pesto with my mini solid food processor which I then froze for later use . I put some on pasta the other night and all the flavors of that fresh basil fusillade in my mouth just like when I first made it .

To make fresh pesto you could either develop your own plants or buy plant to use . I veer off all the leaves except the biggest to apply in pesto . I keep the bigger leaves to add when making a pasta sauce to falsify down . I do not practice the flowers if there are any , as I think they give the pesto a slimly biting taste .
