Pesto with Walnuts

Fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, walnuts, and olive oil come together to make an easy and tasty pesto sauce! I recommend making several batches at a time and freezing the sauce for later use! A family favorite for the past 10 years! Use 1 cup pesto sauce with 1 pound cooked pasta, tossing well to mix. Great with chicken, chickpeas, and mushrooms, too!

Step: 1

Combine basil, walnuts, and garlic in a food processor; blend well. Stop the motor and add oil; process until well mixed. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper; process briefly once more.

The most clear way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
