Fresh Basil Parmesan Pesto is a classic, simple and versatile sauce. Made with fresh ingredients, it’s hands down better than store-bought pesto and it’s super easy to make! Use this basil pesto recipe for dipping your favorite Artisan bread, use for flatbread chicken pizza or slather it over a piece of baked salmon.

I love to grow fresh basil. It’s great to be able to run out and grab what I need all summer long, but at the end of the season I always have a ton left. Basil Parmesan Pesto is the best way to use up fresh basil before the first freeze.
