There is no better taste of homemade basil pesto. This was so fragrant, it was better than any spring candle I have at home. It was super easy to make too I can’t believe I haven’t made this before. The recipe is basically putting all the ingredients in the food processor then serving over pasta. Not complicated and taste like you are eating farm to table. The pesto also keeps well and is arguably even better the next day when the flavors marinade with each other.
