I grow a ton of fresh basil during the summer months and am always looking for ways to make the most of my harvest. Of course, fresh basil pesto is always at the top of that list. This Lemon Basil Pesto Sauce is my go-to pesto recipe. This bright and herbaceous sauce is a pretty classic Genovese-style basil pesto, but a twist of lemon makes it especially irresistible. Fresh lemon zest and juice cuts through the richness of toasted pine nuts, garlic, parmesan cheese, and olive oil to create the perfect balance in flavor. As a bonus, its acidity preserves the basil's vibrant green color! The fun thing about fresh pesto is you can pair it with just about anything. Pesto pasta is an obvious choice, but we also love rolling it into breakfast burritos, folding it into juicy turkey burgers, serving it with grilled shrimp or chicken, and drizzling it over a tomato salad.
