It costs more than five dollars just for a small bottle of the sauce. Worse is that I cannot even make one and a half serving worth of spaghetti with a small bottle. Buying these sauces for meals is a form of luxury that I indulge in only about once or twice a year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Honestly, it isn&#8217;t really cheap to be making my own tomato pesto sauce at home too. However, there still is some cost-savings involved because for the same amount of money that I spend on buying these ready-made sauces, I could prepare about thrice as much sauce and even store them at home for use later. It&#8217;s probably a good Christmas gift to make for friends and family members too.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sun-dried tomatoes: 2 bottles (400g)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Parmesan cheese: 125g<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Garlic: 2 cloves, peeled<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Basil leave: 2 cups, washed<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lemon juice: 1\/2 of 1 small lemon<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Extra virgin olive oil: 1\/2 cup + extra for storage<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salt: 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ground blackpepper: 1 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blend all the ingredients together till a smooth paste forms.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">To serve: Add into spaghetti as main serving sauce.
