Making a homemade pesto with fresh herbs is easier than you might think. I have never done any pesto before this recipe and the outcome was super tasty. My husband normally isn't a huge fan of me experimenting with "green ingredients" in the kitchen but this time he was pleasantly surprised.
This time I went without garlic gloves and used ramson instead. This is a good idea if you have a date or business meeting coming up so you wont make a "smelling" first impression :-)
What's also good to know: It is easier to spread your pesto on your pasta if you add a few tbsp. of water, for example, the water you used to cook the noodles.
So that's it basically. Feel free to try it and tell me how you liked it! If you are looking for a pasta recipe, try Pasta with Basil Almond Pesto.
