Sorry everyone, I've really be slacking with the posts. But, I didn't think you'd want to hear about how I had popcorn for dinner one night last week or how I overcooked the flank steak last night AND set off the smoke alarm. So, here's a very simple and delicious recipe for pesto. Well, it's simple if you have a food processor. If you don't then you should go buy one and make this. It's perfect over pasta or on a tomato and mozzarella sandwich. MMM.
Pesto:
(recipe in the style of my mama, which means no measurements, only approximations)
fresh basil leaves (enough to fill up your food processor)
2 garlic cloves
a few tablespoons of toasted pine nuts (optional)
a handful or two of parmesan cheese
olive oil
Throw the first three ingredients into the food processor and start pulsing. Once the ingredients are chopped, start streaming in the olive oil while the food processor is on. When it's totally pureed and combined, add the parmesan cheese and give it one last whir. Your house will smell like basil and garlic for days…yay.
