Presto it's Pesto!!
I just recently discovered this wonderful French dish at the grocery store- where it cost around $5 for a small jar. That's crazy!!! Well this recipe is sure to please and it doesn't cost anywhere near $5. It is addicting and can be used for SOO many meals. Try it tossed in pasta with a little added feta cheese and pine nuts (which is my favorite) or spread on crackers or bruscetta. It can also be spread on sandwiches, mixed in salads, the possibilities are endless. Be creative and enjoy! This recipe will stay good in the fridge for about 2-3 days but it also freezes well and would make a nice last minute meal for family/friends that show up at the last minute! And remember, Homemade just taste better!
Basil Pesto
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
2-5 garlic cloves (I like to use 4, but you will still be tasting garlic the next day.)
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup olive oil
1. Mix everything together in food processor except the oil and lemon.
2. Once everything is mixed well, drizzle with lemon and oil.
3. Mix until well blended.
4. Serve on pasta or just about anything that needs a pick me up.

Love this blog, Melanie! We started cooking at home more when we moved to Germany, and have been talking about how tempting it will be to eat out or from Wal-mart when we move back. This is going to be a great inspiration!
