Very Easy Pesto

Over the past few years, I have really started to enjoy pesto.  My parents have their own vegetable garden and use their fresh organic basil to make it and it is always very good.  I don't have a garden but I bought some fresh from the store and it just tastes so much better than the pre-made.  I think I might increase the proportions of olive oil and cheese next time as the basil flavor was quite strong, but it was still very good.  Here's the recipe I used.  Enjoy!

1 cup of fresh basil – packed
2 cloves of garlic
3 Tablespoons of Pine Nuts 
3/4 Cup of grated Parmesan cheese
pinch of salt and pepper
1/2 Cup of Olive Oil

Either in a blender or a food processor, add all the ingredients. Pulse until mixture is a think puree.  Serve with pasta or bread or anything you like!
