Classic Pesto

Classic Pesto

2 Cups – Basil Leaves
½ Cup – EVOO
2 Cloves – Garlic, Minced
¼ Cup – Pine Nuts
¼ Cup – Grated Parmesan Cheese
¼ Tsp – Kosher Salt
¼ Tsp – Fresh Ground Pepper

**Note if the Parmesan is quite salty in flavor, as is sometimes the case, then omit the Kosher Salt.

Place the basil leaves in a blender or food processor and puree while slowly adding the oil. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until even consistency. Usually only takes 5 to 10 seconds of additional blending.


Voila!  Perfect Pesto.
