Pesto (my recipe)


2 C loosely packed fresh basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C walnuts and pine nuts mixed
3/4 C Parmesan cheese, fresh, finely grated
EVOO (I drizzle in until it is the consistency I want) approx 1/2 C

Place basil, garlic, nuts and cheese in food processor and pulse until it is coarse crumbs. While machine is running, drizzle in EVOO until the pesto is the consistency you want---I prefer it not too liquidy because I use it on panini's. This is excellent mixed with some fat free half and half and over pasta with fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzerella
