Ingredients:  
3/4 c. olive oil

1/4 c. pine nuts
1 T. Romano cheese (or more Parmesan)

Directions:
Blend all together in a food processor just until smooth. This makes enough for one pound of pasta. To serve, the pasta should be drained, returned to the pot, and the pesto added while the pasta is still hot. Mix thoroughly. If you like to make more than one batch at a time, individual batches can be frozen. Use pint size freezer zip-lock bags. Press all the air out and smooth the bag out flat. They can be stacked one on top of the other in the freezer. To use, let thaw in the fridge or heat briefly in the microwave.
