This fresh pesto recipe is so easy and simple to make! It's one for the whole family and so good to taste the fresh basil and garlic coming through. Next time you reach for a jar, try making some yourself. If you have a basil plant, the leaves keep growing back, so make yourself some more in a few weeks.

Start by heating a small frying pan over a low heat. Add the pine nuts and cook until golden, shaking occasionally.
