Basil Pesto

With the abundance of basil growing outside, we have to put some to good use!

Ingredients: 

• 3 packed cups basil
• 1/2 pine nuts (toasted)
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 2/3 cup parm cheese
• 3 cloves garlic
• salt and pepper

In food processor, combine basil and approx 2 tbsp olive oil. When pasty, add pine nuts, parm cheese, and garlic.  Pulse slowly while adding the remaining olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper. 

Great on pasta or as a dip with bread.
