One of my favourite Pasta Sauces is Pesto.
I wanted to try something different and prepared a Macadamia Nut Pesto.
The advantage of homemade Pesto, is that you are not only able to choose your own ingredients, but also to choose your preferred texture.

I like mine a bit more chunky.
Preparing your own Pesto is quite simple.

Ingredients
150g Macadamia Nuts
90g fresh Basil
2 cloves of Garlic
around 200ml Olive Oil
50g Parmesan
Salt and Pepper
Method
Place Macadamias, peeled Garlic and Basil leaves in a food processor.
Add the olive oil little by little, until all ingredients blend perfectly and until you reached your desired texture.
After that mix in the grated Parmesan, as well as salt and pepper.
Use the salt carefully if you use roasted and salted Macadamia Nuts.

Enjoy!
I have tasted Katja's Macadamia Nut Pesto. It is divine, I tell you!
