Pesto is one of my favorite things in the world. In college at the Madison, WI farmer's market, I would always buy a huge thing of pesto and try to make it last until the next time I was able to go. Living in Chicago, we don't go up to Madison as much, so I wanted to make my own.
What I like about pesto is you can adjust according to your taste. This recipe took a lot of trial and error (not complaining!) and this is the combination I liked. But taste as you go, and add more, or take away some from what I have.
Ingredients:
- 3 c. fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 c. roasted pine nuts (I bought them roasted but you can roast them yourself)
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
- Chop basil
- Put basil, pine nuts, and garlic in food processor and mix until well blended
- Slowly add oil until well blended and you like the taste
- Add in cheese until just blended
