I remember a viral social media influencer once say, ‘Call me crazy if you want but I’ve never liked store bought pesto.’ While I have enjoyed store bought pesto in my day, I have been making my own homemade pesto lately, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Ever since my boyfriend, Zach, gifted me my beautiful Nutribullet, it is extremely simple for me to make homemade pesto. I put all of the ingredients in the Nutribullet, blend it up, and pour the pesto into a mason jar to keep in the fridge. I put pesto on a variety of dishes, but I could eat it off of a spoon. I especially love it in pasta, on pizza, sandwiches and cottage cheese toast. I love making Basil Pesto with lots of fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and lemon juice. The fresh element of the basil, the umami addition of the pine nuts, the salty parmesan cheese and the pop of acid from the lemon juice make this pesto truly delectable. I would love to know your favorite pesto recipes!
