Keep it Green
To create a bright green pesto, blanch basil leaves in boiling water 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath; drain and pat dry before transferring to food processor.
To Toast Walnuts:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature before using.
