Basil Pesto

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of loosely packed basil leaves, rinsed and dried
  • a bit of salt, to taste
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 2 Tbs pine nuts you could lightly toast but I skipped this
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, maybe more
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if you're using immediately

Instructions

  • Blend everything in a food processor. 

Notes

If you're going to freeze this, don't add the cheese.
