Darcy’s Pesto

Ingredients

• 1+ cup of fresh basil (packed tightly)
• 2+ cloves of garlic
• 1/3 cup walnuts (I prefer walnuts over pine nuts as it gives off a tangy taste)
• ¾ cup parmesan cheese
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/8 tsp salt
• squirt of lemon juice

Directions

Place basil, garlic, walnuts, cheese, & salt in blender or food processor (I use a food processor). Turn on and add olive oil through the feed tube. Mix until it forms a thick puree. Adjust all ingredients according to taste. Use immediately, refrigerate for a few days, or freeze.

Notes

from Darcy: (this is just an approximation – I end up using unspecified amounts of most ingredients!)
