Certainly, you can make basil pesto with basil from the grocery store as well. However, that can become expensive quickly.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I can grow is basil. I have several large bushy plants. However, I can only dry, freeze and give away so much. This basil pesto recipe is a great way to use up basil because it uses 4 cups of&nbsp; leaves. I often double it because it fits in the food processor easily.<\/p>\n<p>Pesto is so easy to make if you have a high performance blender or food processor. I have a Vitamix which makes making pesto a cinch to make. Prep time takes just 8 minutes &mdash; probably not even that long for most people. It&rsquo;s really simple too.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pesto_Recipe\"><\/span>Pesto Recipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 \"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/pesto-recipe\/#Pesto_Recipe\" title=\"Pesto Recipe\">Pesto Recipe<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/pesto-recipe\/#Pesto_Ingredients\" title=\"Pesto Ingredients\">Pesto Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/pesto-recipe\/#How_to_Make_Basil_Pesto\" title=\"How to Make Basil Pesto\">How to Make Basil Pesto<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/pesto-recipe\/#Pesto_Sauce_Recipe\" title=\"Pesto Sauce Recipe\">Pesto Sauce Recipe<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/pesto-recipe\/#Pesto_Recipe-2\" title=\"Pesto Recipe\">Pesto Recipe<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>We&rsquo;re not a big pasta-eating family so it never occurred to me to make pesto.

My husband and I love it, and I&rsquo;ve even brought it with pasta to my book club. (You can also make pesto with spinach. There are lots of pesto recipes.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve made basil pesto with pine nuts and without them. See modifications below if you don&rsquo;t have pine nuts.<\/p>\n<p>Growing basil at home is a much more economical way to make pesto. The best part is you can start with one plant and as it grows, snip off stems and set them on your kitchen counter in water.<\/p>\n<p>When roots are about an inch long, you can transplant them outside or in pots indoors. Basil is easy to grow. You can continue doing this until you have as much basil as you have room to grow it.&nbsp;Then you can snip off the leaves and make pesto sauce whenever.<\/p>\n<p>Another great thing about this pesto recipe is it uses ingredients you likely have at home. I always have a big bottle of Kirkland Organic Olive Oil from Costco along with garlic cloves on my kitchen counter. I just need to be sure I have the parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, I don&rsquo;t have pine nuts but when I remember to buy them, I add them in. This recipe for basil pesto tastes great with or without them. It makes one cup of pesto. If you add in pine nuts, it makes a bit over a cup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8137\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8137\" class=\"wp-image-8137 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2559_original-900x675.jpg\" alt=\"pesto ingredients\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2559_original-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2559_original-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2559_original-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2559_original-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2559_original-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2559_original-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -

Like with so many Italian foods, olive oil and garlic are so delicious together.<\/p>\n<p>Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to five days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8142\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8142\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8142\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"basil pesto recipe\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-675x900.jpg 675w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8142\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8142 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-225x300.jpg.webp\" alt=\"basil pesto recipe\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-675x900.jpg.webp 675w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-1152x1536.jpg.webp 1152w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-1536x2048.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-scaled.jpg.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2584_original-scaled.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-16\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-8142\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Basil, garlic, cheese, salt and pepper in food processor<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pesto_Sauce_Recipe\"><\/span>Pesto Sauce Recipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sure, you can buy pesto at the store but when you make basil pesto at home, the difference in taste is incredible. It&rsquo;s like growing your own tomato compared to eating a store-bought one. If you love tomatoes, you will know what I&rsquo;m talking about! Homemade pesto is the same.<\/p>\n<p>Since figuring out my son has a palm oil allergy and palm oil intolerance, I&rsquo;ve been making foods at home from scratch more and more. I&rsquo;m also gardening more, growing tomatoes and trying to grow garlic. I&rsquo;ve always had success with basil plants so making this recipe for basil pesto is perfect.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s difficult to buy processed foods, especially when they have a lot of unknown ingredients in them. Because of this, I&rsquo;ve learned to cook most things from scratch. This homemade pesto sauce recipe is so easy. My kids don&rsquo;t eat it but my husband and I devour it. He eats basil pesto on pasta. I have it on gluten free red lentil pasta. Sometimes I&rsquo;ll have it with gluten free bread as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8144\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8144\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8144\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"pesto sauce recipe\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-675x900.jpg 675w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8144\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8144 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-225x300.jpg.webp\" alt=\"pesto sauce recipe\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-675x900.jpg.webp 675w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-1152x1536.jpg.webp 1152w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-1536x2048.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-scaled.jpg.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2594_original-scaled.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-17\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-8144\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can add more olive oil to taste and depending on the consistency you favor.
