Homemade Pesto Sauce

Pesto is normally made with Basil, Some even make it with sun dried Tomatoes. Now here I have shown how to make Basil pesto. Basil gives very strong flavor for this sauce, to neutralize the basil flavor we add nuts and cheese to it. Now a days many kids have nuts allergy, in that case avoid it. Nuts and Cheese gives extra flavor to this sauce omitting it won't spoil the dish, only it will become little strong flavored, use only little bit of pesto in your recipe in that case.

Pine nuts are commonly used in Pesto,but I use whatever nut available in home sometimes Almond Cashew,even peanuts also.

Pesto is commonly used in pasta, I use it some times wraps and also Sandwiches.

Make your own pizza dough with whole wheat flour and then options are lots to stuff it with.
