Pesto

Gotta love pesto, especially when basil is growing all around during this coming season! This is a recipe that is good enough for a dish (maybe even two depending on what you're making). If you want to make a bigger batch, double, triple, heck quadruple the recipe and freeze the extra portions.


Ingredients:
Yields 1/2 cup pesto paste

• 3/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
• 1 clove garlic
• 3 Tbs grated parmesan cheese
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• 1 Tbs walnuts (or pine nuts)
• 2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley (optional)

1. All you gotta do is place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until it is a thick paste.

Chicken pesto recipe to follow in the near future (like THIS monday)!!

Bon Appetit!
