I don't scream for ice cream because if I do that means I really want it and I'll probably eat too much of it and throw up. But pesto is definitely on of my top favorite foods. I'll scream for pesto whenever.
Pesto
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh basil leaves
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano (just parmesan cheese)
1/2 cup pine nuts
Salt and Pepper
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Method:
In a food processor, combine all the ingredients except the olive oil.
Pulse a few times to chop everything up.
Add the olive oil in a stream through the feed tube.
Blend until thoroughly combined.
Notes from personal experience: if you are doubling this recipe, or tripling it for that matter (which isn't a bad idea at all), DO NOT double or triple the olive oil! If it's too dry with the 2/3 cup, add more until it's enough. Also, don't be afraid to try it on lots of different stuff. Like Tortellini!
