I've always loved pesto - especially in pasta (grew addicted to the strong fragrance of basil since my Dublin days). The jars of pesto I've bought from supermarkets so far have been expensive - so I thought why not make my own? Plus I can control the amount of olive oil in it too. Tweaked the usual recipes a little, since I couldn't find pine nuts (used cashew nuts instead). It was not too much work, thankfully. I felt as if I was in art class. Pure, simple fun!
Jadi! I feel so...terrifically housewife. :D Used it with my boiled broccoli today. Kept the rest in an empty jar to be refrigerated and used in my pasta on Friday.
Mmmm....fragrant goodness of garlic, cashews, basil leaves, parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper
Made garlic-honey-chilli fish today. Hubby loved it.
