Rocket, Garlic and Basil Pesto

by SuperValu

I always have this in the fridge, it can be added to some many recipes from pizzas, meats, pastas and salads. The word Pesto us actually an Italian word for “Pounded” because traditionally it was made by pounding or grinding the ingredients in a Pestle and Mortar, I prefer to use my food processor.
