Pasta , one of the favourite meal at home...Whenever i get fresh basil,i make pesto sauce and store it in fridge...To make the best italian pasta,i recommend the original version of olive oil produced by Italy...I know few brands that play best role in enhancing the taste...
To Make Pesto Sauce
Basil-250 gms(3 cups)
Walnuts/Pinenuts-1/3 cup
Olive Oil-1/3 cup
Salt-1/4 tsp
Method
1.Grain the basil leaves,garlic,walnuts and salt without water
(i like it coarsely)
2.Add the olive oil to the basil and grain it,Pour the thick sauce in a bottle or an air tight container
This sauce can be stored for 6 months...It can be used on bread toast,Grilled Fish/Vegetables,Pizza and of course pasta.

Tips
Tips
- Donot add water to the sauce,if u r storing it..Add a generous amt of olive oil on top pesto sauce before storing..Use the same oil for making the pasta
- Since i added salt to pesto sauce,and the cheese will also have salt in it
- So,add a dash of salt just to cook the pasta
