Pesto sauce


Made pesto sauce this morning based on BBC's and Jamie Oliver's recipes.

Ingredients:
  • pine nuts, 50 gm, lightly toasted
  • parmegiano reggiano cheese, grated, 50 gm
  • basil leaves, a punch
  • garlic clove, one crushed
  • salt, a pinch
  • olive oil, 80 gm  --------  down to 50gm is sufficient
  • lastly, added 3 anchovies
 Note:
  • olive oil - BBC's recipe calls for 150gm.  I find 50gm is enough just to blend everything together. 
  • 80gm oil is too oily
  • smell very fresh and good
  • made a pizza and pasta with pesto sauce immediately but I don't find either particularly delicious
