Presto... Pesto!

My parents have a rockin' garden, and today my wife and I picked a bunch of basil. We made pesto last year and plan to do it again this year. Its easy to store because you can freeze it. I use Goya olive oil, it is high quality and inexpensive. It comes in smaller bottles so it doesn't go back through oxidation.

I prefer to use more parmesean cheese than olive oil. These are the ingredients I know of so far off the top of my head:
  • Parmasean cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh basil
  • Fresh garlic
I will research the internet to find other recipes to compare, as I'm on a new kick of using measurements when following recipes!

I forgot the pine nuts! Duh!! I found a good recipe at a good website:

Simply Recipes: Fresh Basil Pesto Recipe


Although I'm having burritos tonight, I'm going to prepare the pesto as well.
