Recipe Introduction


Fresh Basil Pesto---The easy way!



List of Ingredients




1/4 cup pine nuts
3/4 cup olive oil
2 cups fresh basil leaves- lightly packed
4 or 5 garlic cloves
3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese




Recipe



Place the ingredients in a food processor and blend on high until creamy. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze in small batches for later.

Remember a little pesto goes a long way. We often toss this with fettuccini and some steamed vegetables for a quick dinner. Or, sauté some shrimp and asparagus in olive oil and garlic and use angel hair with the pesto. We also like to make shrimp pizza with it or bake it on chicken.
