Blanching the basil is the key to keeping your pesto from browning! Use this delicious pesto
on pasta, chicken, steak, fish, tomatoes, and more – so versatile.
I like to make large batches and store in glass jars.
- Set aside a small bowl filled with ice and water.
- Bring small pot of water to boil and add the basil leaves for 30 seconds to soften.
- Remove immediately and plunge leaves into the ice water.
- After 30 to 60 seconds, remove the leaves from the ice bath, squeeze out excess water, and place into blender or food processor.
- Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth.
Store in glass jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you plan on freezing the pesto, don’t add the cheese until you thaw and are ready to use.
