Pesto wasn't my plan for dinner, but when I stopped at the produce store on the way home to pick up some tomatoes and a bunch of fresh basil, the aroma was so wonderful, it demanded to become the main ingredient tonight.Pesto Sauce

- 2/3 cup packed, coarsely chopped fresh basil
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
DIRECTIONS
In a blender, combine all the ingredients. Makes 4 servings.Toss with cooked pasta–I've become a fan of Barilla Plus angel hair pasta–and save the rest for something yummy later in the week.

That looks and sounds so delicious. My husband and I love basil, and we also love Barilla pasta. I have copied it and will try it soon. I also sent it to my son who is trying to be a vegetarian.
Yum! I will have to print this recipe out and try it!!! Sounds so good. Thanks Sophie!
Mmm...it looks wonderful! I can almost smell it.
That looks yummy. Glad to see you are out and about having fun. How are you feeling?
You could try growing basil on your patio.....does well in a pot.
