Friend of Julie: Nut-free Pesto

At Roma in East Hartford Thursday night, Emilia gave us a sample of her nut free pesto, DELICIOUS!

Nut-free Pesto

Linda Googled it and she found many recipes. Here is one that looked easy:

Ingredients

• 1 cup basil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• salt & pepper to taste
• 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. In a food processor pulse basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper until smooth. 
2. Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing. 
3. Store in a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use or you can freeze this in zip locks bags to use at a later date.
