Pesto is a really versatile sauce and not just good for pasta. You can use pesto to jazz up some simple steamed or roasted vegetables or add a spoonful into a bowl of soup to add an extra level of flavour.
The combination of the aromatic herbs and the umami tanginess of parmesan cheese makes this a great sauce to always have on hand.
You can easily buy ready made pesto in the shops but if you make your own, you will know exactly what quality of ingredients have been used especially olive oil.
Homemade pesto is an essential store cupboard sauce to have. It's so easy to make you own. This recipe can be done in minutes and you can keep it in the fridge for weeks, if it lasts that long. The amounts are not precise as you can adjust it to taste. Note: you don't need to add salt to pesto as the cheese is quite salty. You can salt the finished dish to taste later. It's easier to add than to subtract.
