Celiacnonna’s Pesto

Ingredients

  • A large handful of washed basil
  • 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp of ground pepper
  • 3 tbsp of water
  • 2 ice cubes

Instructions

There are many pesto recipes but I adapt mine to my children who have other allergies and food intolerances.  ( It’s quite common when you are Celiac) This pesto has no nuts and no garlic but amazingly delicious.  

  1. Place all ingredients in your vitamix or blender and pulse until a creamy smooth pesto. 
  2. Pour into plastic ice cube tray and freeze for later or pour into a glass jar/container to use immediately or within the week 
  3. ice cubes keep the pesto from getting hot while it’s being pulsed- hence it keeps it’s beautiful colour
  4. After the pesto is frozen pop out of tray and place in an airtight container or plastic freezer baggies
