A delicious, easy to make pesto sauce. The addition of salt isn't necessary as the Parmesan adds enough salty taste.
Ingredients:
2 cups basil leaves
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
4 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4-1/3 cup water
Directions:
1. Put the first four ingredients in a food processor.
2. Process for 15-20 seconds.
3. Add the olive oil in a stream.
4. Blend/pulse until desired consistency leaving some texture (don't make it paste-smooth).
5. Add water gradually as needed.
6. Serve over pasta, chicken, etc.
7. You can freeze it in meal-serving containers or individual ice cube-sized blocks. If you need to thin it at any time, use water, NOT more oil.
