Instructions: 1. Process the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor until finely chopped.

2. With the machine running, pour the oil in a thin, steady stream.

3. Add the cheese, salt and ground pepper to taste. Process briefly to combine.

Yield: 2 cups prepared pesto.

NOTE: I make this in 2-cup batches & freeze in 1/2 pt. canning jars for the winter. Use on pasta, vegetables, baked potatoes... MJ
