Mushroom Pesto

Pesto is a all time favorite of me. Its a lot of stuff mushed together to taste really delicious if put on spaghetti, bread or as a base for other treats. The best thing: It doesn´t take long to make and you can mix the ingredients as much as you please.



This particular pesto is one of those random mixed ones with a lot in it and a whole lot of flavor.
I am not extremely into mushrooms but I had to use them up before they taint.

Because its winter we didn´t had any basil around but it didn't matter. In case you miss an ingredient you can likely substitute it with a similar one.











You need:

• handfull mushrooms (I took champignons)
• 3 Gloves 
• 400-500ml olive oil
• branch rosemary, 4 branches cilantro
• 10g dried olives
• walnuts, cashews, pineseeds (chopped)
• salt, pepper
• 50g grounded parmesan cheese
• 200-500g spaghetti

How to cook:

• slice mushrooms in small slices, put into a preheated pan on medium heat with some olive oil
• after 3 min. add 1 grounded clove, cook for 2min. on
• take mushrooms out of the pan
• put nuts into pan, roast on medium heat for a few minutes
• prepare spaghettis
• add 400ml. olive oil into  a blender, add the other ingredients
• first mix for a few seconds, than taste and flavor how desired
• you can put spaghettis and some pesto into another pan to roast them a little bit
• for presentation and crunchiness add some nuts over your served meal
• enjoy

You see its a "put it all in a mix the crap out of it" recipe and very easy. You can store the pesto a few days due the amount of oil. Put the leftovers into a glass jar and enjoy the pesto later.

I hope you try it yourself and mix it up he way you like to.

Wish you all a nice day.

Until  next time.

See you
