Basil Pecan Pesto

Here’s my recipe for pesto!

2 cups of fresh basil leaves, packed

1/3 cup pecans, toasted at 350 for about 5 minutes

2 cloves of garlic

3 Tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Blend all ingredients except parmesan together in blender for a few minutes. Add cheese and blend an additional minute.

Use with pasta, sandwiches, marinades, you name it! You can also freeze for later use.
