Fresh Basil Pesto by Colorful EatsFresh Basil Pesto by Colorful EatsI make fresh basil pesto so often, I never even use a recipe!  A friend was asking how I made it, so I finally wrote down my basic measurements for you all.  Personally, I like to make pesto without a recipe and adjust according to my taste.

Here is the deal—everyone’s taste buds and consistency preferences are different, which is why I recommend adjusting this recipe to fit your flavor profile.  I like my pesto thick but I know a lot of people like it a bit more runny, so for that you would just add more olive oil.

So what can you make with pesto, besides eating it by the spoonful?

Directions

  • Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. (Personally I start with about a half cup of olive oil and add more as needed so that it is not too runny, as basil is difficult to measure).
  • Use an hand-held immersion blender to blend until smooth.
  • Store in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
