for years on making cooking fun and
easy to learn.

Being a retired culinary instructor & retired dietitian, I have plenty of adventures with food.

🌿Basil = Pesto! Picked a big bouquet of fresh basil… Making Pesto to freeze for winter! I love snapping off a chunk and adding it to pasta, soups or meal creations. Thought I’d share the process! ENJOY!
Ever made it? I also have used dill, garlic scapes, parsley… the options are endless! It’s a SAVER! 🥰😋
• Start with about 3 cups of ground leaves… Add 4-5 cloves garlic & process. Add about 1 cup of your choice of nuts. (Pine nuts are expensive… I use almonds)
• Drizzle in about 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 cup grated Parmesan, 1/2 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper.
• Process til smooth… Add a little more olive oil until smooth & a bit runny.
• Use some if you’d like … Add the rest into a quart plastic bag & flatten. Freeze & break off sections as needed. Can also freeze in small containers or ice cube trays.
Head to my website…Lynnieskitchen.guru & search ‘Pesto’… Lots of ideas & step by step recipes too!
