Pesto

Our friends brought us some fresh basil the other day, so I figured it was about time I tried making some pesto. Trying something new is always a good thing, right?

 Pesto

• 2 1/2 cups basil leaves (stems removed)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Combine basil, cheese and garlic in small food processor and blend until desired consistency. Drizzle in olive oil and process again. Season to taste and store in refrigerator.
