Pesto

I have to admit that I've cheated recently and ate a plate of spaghetti. And I'm paying for it. But sometimes, I just don't feel like alfredo sauce, too creamy for my taste. Here's a great alternative with no tomato! YUM!

Pesto:

Ingredients

* 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

Directions

1. In a food processor, blend together basil leaves, nuts, garlic, and cheese. Pour in oil slowly while still mixing. Stir in salt and pepper.
