ABC Pesto

Are you guys wondering what could this ABC stand for?? Or do you think this means that the recipe is too basic for any beginner to the cooking can make this pesto easily. Well, you are right.. it means both and let me explain you what ABC is

A for Almonds
B for Basil
C for Cashews

This is what the pesto is made with. Couple of weeks back I bought basil from a grocery store that is way far off from our living place. I made eggplant parmesan, tomato basil sauce with spaghetti and some salad with bruschetta. We love the whole spread especially my kids and hubby. With the left over basil I made this pesto and kept in a cup and stored in the refrigerator to cook some spaghetti and have it with.

Here is the recipe:

1 cup packed Basil
1 tbsp Almonds
1 tbsp Cashews
3 tbsp EVOO
2 medium Garlic cloves
3 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Salt and pepper as per taste

Take almonds, cashews into mixie jar and grind for a second. Add all the rest of the ingredients and grind to a smooth paste. Take it into a jar or cup and store in refrigerator. You can use this as a spread on the toasted bread or to make sandwich or add in cooked pasta.
