Fresh Basil

My Basil is growing really well

right now.

Today I will make some Pesto.

I pretty much use the Barefoot Contessa's

recipe, but she puts in more garlic.

Pesto

(makes approx. 4 cups)

4 cups fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup pignolis, toasted

2 garlic cloves, diced

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Place pignolis and garlic in food processor,

process for 30 seconds. Add basil, salt & pepper.

With processor running, slowly pour the olive oil

into the bowl through the feed tube and process

until the pesto is finely pureed. Add parmesan

and puree for another min.

Store in fridge or freezer.
