Here is my pesto recipe: 2 c. tightly packed basil 1/4 c. pine nuts (toasted) 1/4 c. parmesan cheese 1/2 c. olive oil garlic, and lots of it (4-5 cloves is good) salt (just a pinch) Blend in your food processor or blender until smooth. Place in jar with a little olive oil on top. Refrigerates well for a couple of weeks. NOTE: Nuts can be changed for a little different taste, hazelnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds (for a little mexican taste). Really good on baked potatoes, in grilled cheese sandwiches (my favorite), of course on pasta (a little will do with some more oil,) and as a dip with some pita bread is good too. Enjoy!!
