Basil is one of my favourite herbs to eat, and pesto is definitely my favourite way to enjoy it. Basil is not only delicious but also great for you. It is a great anti inflammatory and also full of antioxidants like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Pesto is so versatile and can easily be used on vegetables, pasta, pizza and bread, salads and even as a marinade! This recipe will only take minutes to make and can be enjoyed immediately after.
