food for thought: pesto, part II

Last weeks pizza party was a delicious blast! We had Pesto Pizza, Pepperoni & Jalapeno Pizza, Pizza Margherita and Caramelized Onion & Gorgonzola Pizza. Hands down my fave was the Pesto Pizza...sorry for the horrible pic. The pesto love continued Tuesday evening with a Pesto & Portobello Panini, sooooo good!

Pesto Genovese

2 C packed basil
4 cloves garlic, crushed

1/3 C pine nuts

1/3 C extra virgin olive oil

1/2 C grated Parmesan

Blend basil, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor or blender. Gradually add olive oil until blended. Place in a bowl, stir in Parmesan and season with S & P.

Enjoy!
