I prefer the taste of pecans over the pine nuts usually called for in pesto recipes. I developed this recipe over a summer of trial and error and prefer it to all other pesto recipes!
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups pecans
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Blend the basil, pecans, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a food processor until the mixture becomes a slightly chunky paste.
