Fresh Basil Pesto Freezer Directions

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I make my pesto with roasted garlic instead of raw. I roast 10 or more heads of garlic, squeeze them when cool enough to handle and place the pulp in empty chocolate trays (I put some olive oil on the trays for easier removal) , cover with wax paper and into a ziplock bag and in the freezer. Anytime I need toads garlic, I take one of the "cubes".
