Pesto

Every summer, our basil patch outgrows itself, and this is where it goes. This pesto is simple by design — good basil, good Italian cheeses, good olive oil. 

 





Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups of tightly packed basil leaves

4 Tablespoons of toasted pine nuts

3 cloves of garlic

3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

3 Tablespoons of Pecorino Romano 

3/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

Place in food processor; basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt. 

Process until smooth.

Add cheese and mix just until incorporated.
