Basil Pine Nut Pesto recipe made using a Vitamix or Blendtec commercial blender (VIDEO)

We love this simple but classic basil pine nut pesto recipe easy made in your Blendtec or Vitamix blender, no need to break out and clean your food processor (or buy one!). Toast the pine nuts for added flavor, and make sure not to over blend so watch your timing. You can use a good pesto sauce for any type of pasta, or as a spread for sandwiches. It’s so good we mop up every last drop with a rustic or crusty bread!
