Pesto Sauce

This homemade pesto sauce is good on pizza or pasta dishes.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh basil leaves (packed)
• 2 cloves fresh garlic
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (fresh grated, preferably)

Preparation:

Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor. Will keep for month in fridge if covered with a small amount of olive oil.

Note: This also makes an excellent sauce for pizza instead of something tomato-based. (We have it with whole wheat spaghetti, but that's just our preference.) - Renee
