50gm fresh basil leaves (jusco/tesco), 2 med cloves of garlic, ≤50gm pine nuts(jusco), abt 150ml olive oil, n a pinch of salt. For longer storage purpose, I added more olive oil. As for the cheese, i only add them when cooking per time n not beforehand, usually rite after turning off the heat. To make the pesto, combine all the ingredients in a food processor/mortal n pestle. Then pour into a glass jar n store in the fridge. Scope out 2 tbsp per person when u make ur meal. Dun forget the cheese.
1) This is the home-made pesto (no basil sprinkle cos ran out of them). The texture is not as fine as those u get from the stores, but i actually prefer it tat way cos u could taste more of the basil leaves.
2) This is bought-pesto. Notice tat it is less green as it is mass produced n oxidation is inevitable.
