I bought a large bunch of fresh basil from the local Amish farmers's market and
had to find something to do with it. I love basil, but there was way too much
for just making a pot of two of spaghetti, so I found a nice classic pesto
recipe and modified it slightly. It's very flavorful and I was pleased with the
outcome.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
12 walnuts, shelled
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups basil leaves
6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup olive oil
Directions:
Place all ingredients except 1 cup olive oil in food processor and grind very fine. Add remaining olive oil and blend a few seconds until smooth.
