Recipe Introduction


Makes about 4 cups of pesto


List of Ingredients




4 cloves whole peeled garlic

2 cups fresh basil leaves

1 cup parsley sprigs

2/3 cup pine nuts

1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese

1 1/2 cups olive oil



Recipe



Place garlic, basil, parsley, pine nuts and parmesan cheese in a food processor or blender.

Blend at medium speed, adding oil in a thin stream until smooth.

Place in a clean jar, cover with a thin layer of oil, store in refrigerator for up to two weeks. (Pour away oil before using.)

Wine ideas: It doesn't matter if you slather the pesto on pasta, pizza dough, crackers or just eat it from a spoon, it'll taste great next to a bright, light Italian white wine like a pinot grigio from Alois Lageder or the easy-to-find, affordable Ecco Domani. -Tara Q. Thomas
