Basil Pesto Sauce
Sandy and I are big fans of this one, we love the one we get at Costco and that is an ingredient you always would find in our fridge. But off lately since Sandy has grown big into gardening, we have started mending our ways. We now have fresh basil in our garden and hence this is a sauce we have started often at home.
You can use this sauce to make pasta, fish , Paneer , Tofu or a lot of other stuff and it stays good for a good time when refrigerated. It also historically dates back to the Roman Empire making it one of the most ancient sauces known to the human race, hope you would like this version from our kitchen.
