2 cups of basil leaves (remove stems and flowers)
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
4 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons of pine nuts

OK this is kind of tricky. Place all items in a blender or food processor and turn it on. When it looks like pesto, turn it off (about 30 seconds)

Use the pesto as a bread dip or on pasta. Makes me regret all those years I was growing basil and giving it away because I didn't think I liked pesto. This stuff is great!

Happy gardening.
