Fresh Pesto

I make this all summer long from the basil in the garden and freeze batches for use in the winter.

 

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup olive oil

3 Tb pine nuts (I’ve heard you can substitute walnuts)

2 cloves garlic

1/2 tsp salt

4 Tb Parmesan cheese

 

1. Blend oil, nuts, garlic, and salt in a blender until smooth.

2. Add leaves and process until smooth.

3. Add cheese and process until smooth. Serve over cooked pasta.
