Yum!

Nothing beats homemade pesto...


Pesto

2 cups fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
pinch of salt
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter, softened

Put basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, and salt in food processor and blend at high speed until evenly mixed (smooth, creamy texture). Pour mixture into a bowl and stir in parmesan cheese by hand. Beat in the 3 tablespoons of butter by hand. Pesto can be served with pasta, italian bread, refrigerated or frozen.
