Homemade Pesto

This is easy to make, freezes well and adds a kick to almost any savory dish.

2 cups basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper needed
Using a food processor, finely chop the basil and garlic. Add the parmesan and pine
nuts and pulse into a coarse paste. With the machine on, slowly add the olive oil until
incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
( Can be refigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.)
So stinkin' YUMMY!!!!
