Description

Fresh pesto tastes very different to shop bought, and this low-syn version is delicious

Syns: 1.5 per tsp


Ingredients

Scale
  • garlic clove
  • 15 g pine nuts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 40 g fresh basil
  • 30 g parmesan
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Large pinch coarse sea salt


Instructions

  1. Using a mini chopper, whizz together the garlic and pinenuts
  2. Add the basil, whizz again
  3. Add oil, whizz again
  4. Add the grated parmesan, lemon juice and salt and whizz until all combined

Notes

My favourite way to serve this is with rigatoni, fresh green beans and chopped bacon fried until it’s crispy. So delicious!
