I always grow basil in the summer and towards the end of the season, I am tired of it. So I make a large batch of pesto, put it in small containers and freeze it for the year.
Pesto
basil leaves
pine nuts
garlic
lemon juice
salt
parmesan
olive oil
What to do with the pesto?
add it to pasta, use as a pizza sauce, add some cream cheese and serve as a dip, mix with sun-dried tomatoes and stuff chicken breast, use as a salad dressing, eat with tomatoes, toss with roasted potatoes or vegetables, use as a sandwich spread, use as a marinade...
