Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • 4 oz. grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic

Pesto


Description

Put 2 cups of fresh basil in a food processor or blender. Add 4 oz. of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 or 2 cloves of garlic and 1/4 cup of pine nuts (walnuts can be substituted). Blend until a creamy consistency. You can toss it with hot spaghetti for a wonderful meal or use it as a spread or dip. It can be kept in small jars but make sure to pour a thin layer of olive oil on top to keep it from darkening. Can be kept for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or frozen for longer times.
