Fresh Basil Pesto Pasta

My husband and I decided it was time to harvest the fresh basil I have growing in my garden (honestly, it was really overgrown).

I decided there were too many bugs so he plucked and pulled all of the basil leaves while I prepared the ground for new planting.  (definitely organic basil)

We decided to bring it in to the kitchen and wash it in the sink as we separated the leaves, twigs, buds and foreign objects.....

Hubby separated and washed as I dried and prepared for blending.  We thought we had a lot of basil..........

Blended some basil, olive oil, salt and a few rosemary sprigs

And the blending starts.......pulse, pulse, pulse......... This is what we ended up with.............

After all the hard work we decided to enjoy some for dinner and freeze the rest for winter.....

Happy Cooking,
