Recipe 44 – Homemade Basil Pesto

Can anyone guess where this recipe came from? Yep – Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals again. My fiancé and I were celebrating it being exactly a year until we got married, and I had made a special Italian meal of tomato, mozzarella and basil salad for starters, followed by Cannelloni. Although the basil pesto recipe was part of another recipe in the book, I thought it would go well with the starter.

It was simple to make – just putting pine nuts, basil, oil and garlic in the food processor and blitzing. It tasted incredible – must better than the normal store bought pestos, and did go very well with the starter.

  1. That sounds really good. I love Italian and need to experiment with more than the usual spag bol.
