Basil Pesto
Ingredients:
- Basil Pesto
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan or Romano (I may have used closer to 1/2 cup actually because I love cheese)
- 1/2 cup olive oil (you can add more or less depending on the consistency you want)
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Frank's red hot)
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor (preferably a food processor so your smoothies don't taste like garlic later). Just blend until it is a consistency that you like. I like pesto to be pretty chunky so I didn't go too long.
- Serve on sandwiches, pizza, pasta, or anything else you can think of!
