Pesto

grow basil, make pesto.

Pesto

Blend in a food processor until well combined:
2 cups fresh clean basil
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
3 cloves garlic
salt & pepper to taste

Once blended, transfer to a half pint jar.  Fill the remaining space in the jar with olive oil, this acts as a "seal" until you are ready to use the Pesto.  Store in the fridge.  Add 1/2 cup parmesan to the batch of pesto mixture once you are ready to serve.
