Here’s what you’ll need:

You’ll need a food processor to make this so that all of the ingredients blend together seamlessly.

Just add in your Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Almonds, Garlic, Salt, and Pepper to a food processor and pulse 10-20 seconds.

Add in Basil, Arugula, Parmesan, and EVOO. Pulse for 30 seconds, stopping and scraping down the sides to mix in.

Add in 3 – 6 Tbs of Water and pulse 10 seconds (start with 3 Tbs and keep adding more water until the texture is smooth and not too pasty).

That’s it! Now you have fresh homemade Pesto! 🙂
