We like pesto so here is a good recipe
3 C of fresh basal (it is the cheapest a WINCO but make sure you check to see if it is fresh and not wilted)
1/2 C roasted pine nuts
4 cloves of garlic
3/4 C Parmesan cheese
1/2 C olive Oil
Roast the pine just at 400 degrees in the oven for about 10 minutes -- watch these because they can burn
add everything but the oil to a food processor and roughly processes. add the oil until you get the consistently you like (it might take more or less the 1/2 C)
add to any pasta.
you can also use this to marinate chicken if you want chicken with your pasta.
