The better the quality, the better your pesto!
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil a really good quality one makes all the difference here!
Salt and pepper

Pesto variations
Here are some terrific combinations Ive tried over the years.
Use the same Pesto Formula above.
Chunky or smooth?
Pesto can be a bit on the chunky side, or almost like a uniform green paste.
Heres a comparison of how pasta looks with chunky vs smooth.
The blitzing vehicle Guess what, not all food processors are created equal!
Instead, use a blender (you gotta be diligent scraping it all out!
), a Nutri-bullet (or spice grinder or similar) OR use a stick blender in a bowl.
This stick blender works exceptionally well!Watch the video and youll see.
Pesto uses
So much more than just pasta!!
Ive separated them between when I use smoother pesto and chunkier pesto.
Or just a general hair puff up?
