Pesto
Pesto is an moderately easy dinner. Made with 2 c. fresh basil leaves, washed and patted fry, 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped, 1 c. shelled walnuts or pine nuts, 1 c. best quality olive oil and 1 c. fresh grated parmesan cheese, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. A crowd-pleaser that never disappoints.
