Today's recipe is a tasty batch of homemade pesto!!!

This recipe is quick and you can store in the fridge for a week or freeze in ice cube trays to have when you need it!!

This pesto can be used in so many tasty recipes and your favourite dressing.

Using real parmesan cheese works best but you can use the bottle type but leave out the salt because it will be to salty...
