View of life / Blick auf das Leben

We don't see things as they are;

Basil Pesto

Basil Pesto is made very fast and easy. It can be kept for a long time in a preserving jar, covered by a little layer of olive oil. Pesto is perfect if you need a very tasteful meal, also when guests will come and you don’t have enough time or you aren’t in the mood to do a lot. ;-)

For this delicious basil pesto you need:

1 bunch basil

100g pine nuts

70g parmesan cheese

3 cloves of garlic

125ml olive oil

Salt

Now you just have to fill all ingredients, except the salt, into a blender. You need to puree it until it has become a paste-like substance. In the end you season it with some salt.

To serve put it over hot noodles.
