Here at Carlino’s, we love sharing our passion of food with you \u2013 it\u2019s what we live for! We want to help you discover the inner foodie in you.<\/p>\n

This month, we wanted to share an excellent Basil Pesto recipe. Basil originated in Genoa, Italy and is known for its distinct color and taste. It can be used in multiple ways. For example, atop a pizza, in a dip, marinade or dressing or sneak some into your omelet for a delicious breakfast alternative. The best part other than the flavor and its diverse usage is that it\u2019s simple to make as well! This is a great condiment to create as summer winds down to a close.<\/p>\n

This recipe makes about 1 cup<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00bc cup toasted walnuts, skins removed
\n\u2022 1 large clove garlic, peeled and crushed
\n\u2022 3 packed cups basil leaves, roughly chopped or torn
\n\u2022 \u00bd cup parsley leaves
\n\u2022 \u00bd cup olive oil
\n\u2022 \u00bc cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
\n\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon lemon zest
\n\u2022 Freshly cracked black pepper
\n\u2022 Sea salt<\/p>\n

All of these simple ingredients fit well inside of a food processor, with the walnuts and garlic first in until lightly chopped. Next add the basil and parsley, and pulse this until it begins to form a nice paste. Continue movement as you add olive oil slowly.<\/p>\n

Transfer from the food processor into a bowl where you can mix in the Parmesan Cheese and lemon zest. Finish up by adding salt and pepper to your liking.<\/p>\n

Easy right? Best part is, you know where the best ingredients are located \u2013 right here at Carlino’s. We have locally grown fresh basil and the finest Parmesan Reggiano cheese.<\/p>\n
