This pesto is so basic and allergy friendly, but when people come over they can't tell the difference between this and the real deal. It's also way cheaper than buying a jar of pre-made pesto and it is so easy to make.
2 and 1/2 cups fresh basil
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic
3/4 tsp salt (the salt makes up for the lack of parmesan cheese)
Put all of these in the blender and puree. Put in ice cube trays and freeze for a rainy day. When you need a quick meal you can pop one out and add it to pasta. I'd say one cube serves a family of 4-6. Keep in mind with pesto, that a little goes a long way. I'll share my favorite pesto dish soon.
