Okay, so it's kind of been awhile since I blogged, but I will make up for that with this super simple pesto recipe! And this one has no cheese! (More flavor + less calories = FAB.)
I use this on sandwiches with roasted vegetables and goat cheese, but you could use it on pasta, too. Best of all--you can make this with five ingredients and in under three minutes in a food processor. So step away from that pre-packaged pesto in the store and make your own, ladies!
Red Pepper Pesto
*2/3 cup roasted red peppers from a jar
*3 cloves of garlic
*1/3 cup walnuts or pine nuts (I used pine nuts--just bought a little bag in the baking aisle and they worked fine.)
*3/4 cup basil leaves
*1/4 cup olive oil
Pulse red peppers, garlic cloves, nuts and basil leaves in food processor. Slowly add olive oil while machine is running. Add salt and pepper to taste (I omitted salt and it was still very tasty.) Enjoy!
