Summer Pesto!

When he told me last week that he's been Clipping all my basil plants

and throwing the basil into the Compost pile I almost screamed!

He said there has been so much basil in the garden, there's no way I could

use it all. And, while it's true that I haven't done a lot of Cooking this week,

there's always room for Pesto!! So this morning... I harvested my own basil

Because there's nothing better than fresh-made Basil pesto! I make
enough Pesto each summer, (see here) to get me through the year

So he really should know better! Any way... In your Cuisie,
place 4 cups packed Basil and add 1/3 cup Pine nuts...

And, pulse it to Chop!

Throw in three whole Cloves of garlic

and pulse again.... Smells amazing!

Add 1/2 cup Olive oil in a steady stream while food processor

is running. Finally, add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan and salt/pepper

to taste. Run food processor for just a minute to combine all

Use immediately on grilled Chicken or turkey and/or chicken

burgers, over pasta, instead of tomato sauce on pizzas, and on

baked potatoes. I store my Pesto in quart containers and freeze

it for a taste of Summertime basil pesto anytime of the year!
