Basil pesto is one of the most popular additions to pasta. Preparation takes only few minutes. It’s so easy to make that even the biggest rookie can handle the cooking. It is a no-brainer that a fresh home-made pesto is much better than a store-bought one. Moreover… it freezes very well! It’s good to have a batch of it, stashed for a busy day 😉
