Pesto

Make your Pesto immediately before serving for a fresh and extremely satisfying sauce.  Serve with a loaf of crusty bread . Enjoy!

 

2 oz fresh basil leaves
2 garlic cloves
1 oz pine nuts
4 Tbl extra-virgin olive oil
4 Tbl freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt

Combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor or blender and reduce to a puree.  If you have a mortar and pestle, even better.  With the machine running on low,pour the oil slowly.  when the mixture is well emulsified, add the cheese and blend briefly.
