the best pesto ever! Use it on pizza (instead of red sauce), noodles (hot or cold), or over chicken or fish for an awesome meal.

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup fresh basil
3 tsp parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
Directions
  1. hull garlic and place it and the parmesan in food processor.

  2. pulse until finely chopped.

  3. seperate basil from stem and place in processor. (if it gets too full pulse a few times to lessen the volume, but don't fully chop until all the basil has been added.)

  4. process until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed.

  5. While pulsing add olive oil (or if you don't have a machine with holes in the top, add one tbsp at a time and pulse a few times in between additions.)
