Come preparare il pesto di basilico che non diventa scuro

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts are more affordable and provide a similar texture.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Grana Padano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and lower in calories.

Combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor.

Pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add Parmesan cheese and lemon juice, then pulse to combine.

With the processor running, slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil until smooth.

Season with salt to taste and pulse briefly to mix.

Transfer to a jar and drizzle a thin layer of olive oil on top to preserve.
