Pesto

Toss any pasta with some of this while it’s still hot. I like it with fettuccine and spaghetti.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh basil, chopped
• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. Combine basil and pine nuts in blender or food processor, pulse until well-mixed.
2. Add garlic and parmesan cheese and pulse to mix.
3. Add olive oil slowly while blender is running.
4. Add salt & pepper to taste.
