    List of Ingredients




    1 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves
    1/2 cup firmly packed parsley sprigs with stems removed
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
    1/4 cup olive oil or cooking oil
    1/4 cup pine nuts, walnuts, or almonds
    1 large clove garlic, sliced
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    4 ounces packaged dried fusilli, spaghetti, or other pasta
    Finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

    Recipe



    1. For pesto, in a blender container or food processor bowl combine basil, parsley, Parmesan or Romano cheese, oil, nuts, garlic, and salt. Cover and blend or process with several on-off turns until a paste forms, stopping the machine several times and scraping the sides.

    2. To serve, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Add about one-third of the pesto to the pasta; toss to coat. If desired, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 side-dish servings.
