Pesto

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of pesto? It's a yummy green sauce that people put on their food, kind of like ketchup or mustard. The sauce is made from some really tasty ingredients that are all mixed up together.

First, we start with basil. Do you know what basil is? It's a green leaf that smells really good and tastes kind of like mint. We take a bunch of basil leaves and put them in a blender.

Next, we add some other ingredients. One of them is garlic, which is a tiny little thing that makes food taste really yummy. We also add some pine nuts, which are like little seeds that give the sauce a nutty flavor. And lastly, we add some cheese, usually parmesan cheese, which is really tasty and salty.

Once we've got all our ingredients in the blender, we blend them all up until they're really smooth. We might add a little bit of oil too, to make it easier to mix.

After all that's done, we have pesto! We can put it on lots of different things, like pasta or sandwiches or even pizza. It's a really delicious way to add some flavor to our food.
