Pesto

Pesto is a great with pasta and keeps for weeks in the fridge. Or you can mix some with mayo to create a delicious pesto dip.

Method

  1. 1

    Using either a blender or a pestle and mortar, pulverise the pine kernels, garlic and basil. How long you blend it for depends on personal preference for a smooth or coarse pesto. Then simply stir in the salt and cheese followed by the Mellow Yellow.
    Serves 2/3 if served with pasta. Or… simply mix with mayonnaise for a delicious pesto dip.

    Tip…

  3. 3

    To store in the fridge, decant into a clean jar (with lid) and pour a little mellow yellow on the top, this will keep the air out and help it to last for longer.
