Pesto Sauce

3 cups fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste


In a food processor, blend together basil leaves, nuts, garlic, and cheese. Pour in oil slowly while still mixing. Stir in salt and pepper.
We have a bumper crop of basil in our back yard so this was cheap to make. It would be expensive if you had to buy the basil. I know some of you are also growing basil so I thought I would share this recipe. It was very yummy on pasta and crackers.
