Easy Homemade Basil Pesto That is Incredibly Delicious
This is a quick (5 minutes) recipe of homemade basil pesto sauce that tastes incredibly good! I like to combine it with pasta, salads, and I even use it as a dip (yes, it’s THAT delicious!)
I usually make big batches, freeze them and use them whenever I am craving some delicious pesto sauce. One of my favorite ways to eat it is as a dip with a nice baked garlicky bread. The recipe is super versatile, so you can’t go wrong!
NOTE: For the best classic pesto, use fresh basil!
This fresh homemade pesto is so flavorful, creamy and delicious, you can serve it on chicken, like pasta sauce, or use it as a dip for your favorite bread or crackers!
