Recipe Summary Easy Basil Pesto With Almonds

Save some money using garden-grown basil and almonds in place of pricey pine nuts. This recipe is easy, fast, and very tasty. Summer on a plate! Serve over warm pasta with a side salad and a nice loaf of bread. I also spread this on toast. If you have left over, put in a small jar and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Keep refrigerated.

Ingredients | Macadamia Basil Pesto Pasta Keto

2 cups fresh basil leaves

½ cup Parmesan cheese

¼ cup whole raw almonds

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed

1 clove garlic, peeled

Directions

Combine basil, Parmesan cheese, almonds, olive oil, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until blended. Pour in more olive oil, with the processor running, until pesto is thick and smooth.

You can use roasted garlic in place of raw.

Toast the almonds at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for about 10 minutes before following the recipe if you'd like roasted almond pesto.
