1 bunch of Basil leaves
¾ cup of Olive Oil
½ cup Parmesan cheese
3 peeled garlic cloves
¼ cup walnuts (optional)

Place basil into blender of food processor then add olive oil.  Process by “pulsing” until basil is pureed.   Add remaining ingredients and pulse until smooth. 

Pesto is great with sandwiches, on pizza, or in alfredo sauces.  It can also be used as a dip and can be kept frozen for months.
