Pesto Recipe

Pesto Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup virgin olive oil
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pine nuts
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/5 tsp black pepper

Directions:

• Place the basil leaves and pine nuts into the bowl of a food processor and pulse a several times.
• Add the garlic and Parmesan or Romano cheese and pulse several times more. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula.
• Slowly add the olive oil in a steady small stream. Adding the olive oil slowly, while the processor is running, will help it emulsify and help keep the olive oil from separating. Occasionally stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor. 
• Stir in Salt and Black pepper for more taste.

Enjoy!
