We use small ice cream scoops
Make little patties on plastic wrap on top of a metal tray
Pop them into the freezer.
They will last awhile….and you can pull out just what you need
Refrigerated….should last at-least 5 days
will start to discolor…get dark
Freezing…the pesto holds it’s color

Fill an ice cube tray with it. Freeze and then pop the cubes in a zip lock bag. Store in the freezer. When making pesto pasta, nuke two cubes per serving and mix with pasta, add a splash of olive oil and a sprinkle of pine nuts for texture. Pass the Parmesan.

Basil Pesto
2 cups loosely packed basil leaves, washed and dried thoroughly
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
In a food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, and salt and puree. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until incorporated. Season with pepper to taste. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator with a piece of plastic wrap placed right on the surface of the pesto to prevent discoloration, for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
hope this helps. enjoy.
