No reviews

Six ingredients are all you need to make this sun-dried tomato pesto recipe. Full of rich flavor this is perfect spread on a crostini, mixed into pasta, on top of eggs and more.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12oz 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3.5oz Sundried Tomato (I used a combo of dry and jarred in oil - drained)
  • 1oz Freshly Grated Parmesan
  • 2oz Fresh Basil
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 2oz Walnuts
  • 5-6oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. In a food processor add the basil leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic cloves, parmesan cheese, and walnuts.
  2. Then blend everything together for about a minute. Scrape the sides down, place the lid back on the food processor and slowly add the olive oil, you will need somewhere between 5-6oz- drizzle the EVOO in slowly. The mixture will come together into a thick sauce.  
  3. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or pour into ice cube mold/ freezable container and freeze for up to 1 month.

Equipment

Notes

*Walnuts produce a chunkier/ thicker pesto sauce opposed to pine nuts. If you want a smoother sauce go with pine nuts.
