The ingredients needed to make My Simple Pesto Recipe:
  1. Make ready 3 cups packed Fresh Basil, leaf and stems (8 ounces by weight ) approximately 3 cups packed
  2. Take 15 ounces Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions to make My Simple Pesto Recipe:

  3. Slowly add rest of olive oil while pulsing
  4. Keep pulsing until wet sand consistency, should be uniform in size and texture.
  5. Taste, add 1/2 tsp of kosher salt if needed, never use table salt as it should never be used for cooking, or consumption in my opinion.
