Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 8- 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 50 g large bunch (50g/1.75oz) fresh basil leaves
- 90 ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
- 40 g (3 tbsp) pine nuts
- 30 g (1/3 cup) freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/2 tsp crushed Maldon Salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp Maldon salt
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Add the basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, black pepper, and salt to a food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds to break up the garlic and pine nuts.
- Step 2
Turn the food processor back on and pour in the oil in a steady stream – which should take about 10 seconds.
- Step 3
Check for consistency – if you like it a little chunky, it’s ready to go. If you like it smoother, whizz for another 10-20 seconds until the texture is to your liking.
- Step 4
Taste the pesto and add in more salt if needed. I usually add in approx. ½ tsp lightly crushed Maldon salt.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
