Homemade Pesto

Great on pasta, gnocchi, paninis, etc.
Serving: About 1 cup

Ingredients

1 Big bunch of basil
8 Tbls Olive oil
5 Tbls Toasted pine nuts
3-4 Garlic cloves (depending on taste)
1/3 Cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper
Directions

Place all ingredients in a food processor and grind until it is a fine liquidy sauce. Salt and Pepper to taste. Make sure not to over-grind or the basil will wilt and turn brown. Once you have the sauce, you can use it right away or store it in a closed container in the refrigerator.
