Basil Pesto
Serves 2
1 garlic clove
40g pine nuts
50g basil leaves
3 tbsp parmesan, grated
1/4 cup olive oil
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
Literally just put all these ingredients in a food processor and turn it on. You can blitz it until it's completely smooth, or leave it slightly chunky - it's entirely up to you.
Spoon the pesto over 200g of cooked pasta and mix it in well then serve with a big glass of chilled white wine (or a ginger ale if wine isn't your thing. ;p )

mm I actually just made pesto this morning for my lunch. Love it!!
And it can be cooked with anything from chicken to salmon. So good.
For something different, you can always add chilli and roasted capsicum too. Pesto is so versatile. :)
Love, love, love basil. Yum. And basil works great on period cramps, too. Double good.
