PESTO SAUCE BASIL PARSLEY
Project Description
PESTO SAUCE BASIL PARSLEY
Pesto sauce is traditionally made of fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. It works well if we add it to meat or fish. However, since pesto sauce is exceptionally good with pasta, which is a carbohydrate with Medium GI, we got to skip the cheese in our hand-made Pesto Sauce.

- 1 cup pinenuts
- 1 cup olive oil

Notes
You can substitute the pine nuts with walnuts, cashews, pistachios, or almonds
You can also use other greens — like cilantro, mint, spinach, kale, arugula
Pesto can stay in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. If you are not planning to finish the whole amount during that time, you can freeze it. Spoon pestos into ice cube trays, cover, and freeze it. Then unfroze 1-2 cubes when you need it.
