Learn how to make Homemade Pesto from the garden with this simple recipe:

Ingredients
1/3 cup pine nuts
Handful of mint leaves
Several handfuls of basil leaves
Handful of spinach leaves
2 garlic cloves
3-4 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

**Sorry I didn’t take exact measurements, as I just used what I had picked and added enough olive oil to reach the consistency I wanted.

Directions

1. Add pine nuts and mint in the food processor.

2. Fill the food processor with basil leaves.  Then pulse a few times before adding a handful of spinach.  Add olive oil until it reached the consistency I wanted plus about 1 tsp salt and a few dashes of pepper.  Pulse until reaches the consistency you wish.  Use immediately or freeze for use in future meal.

Because I didn’t use it right away, I froze it in 2 portions…one I plan to use for a chicken pesto recipe, and the other with pasta!
