Special Comment
Be aware that this pesto is full of the garlic. And I mean FULL!!!
I use sometimes 15 cloves of garlic in this recipe. (yes, I know but I believe garlic is good for you…)
And I also don’t use Parmesan cheese or pine nuts.
I like simple combo of the garlic, the olive oil and the king basil.
If you are still questioning my recipe please DON’T!
Healthy is good for you. Your body and your soul will say:THANK YOU!
