Notes
This pesto will keep up to a week in an airtight container.
add a tablespoon at a time to your cooked drained pasta and taste add more or less to your own taste
spaghetti, linguine, and tagliatelle work best for pesto but you make the rules guys! Use whatever you like
Serve mixed through freshly cooked pasta with a little more Parmesan and a basil leaf on top.
