Ingredients:  
1 1/2 - 2 c. lightly packed fresh basil leaves
4 cloves garlic
1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 c. freshly grated parmesean cheese
1/4 - 1/2 c. pinenuts
Directions:
Directions:
In a blender, process olive oil, garlic and basil leaves
until smooth. Add cheese and pinenuts and pulse until
combined. We like to leave it a little lumpy so that the
cheese and pinenuts give it texture. It is delicious over
pasta, on toast rounds, or with any recipe calling for
pesto. Delicious!
