The Besto Pesto

The first time I ever ate pesto sauce was at my sister’s house. What would my life be like if she had never introduced me to the world’s best pasta sauce? I shudder to think. She gave me her recipe over the phone, and I wrote it down on the envelope of my phone bill. The time has come that I’m now sick of looking at this old SBC envelope on my desk, so I’m throwing it away and committing the recipe to the less desk-cluttering internet. Thanks, Suz.

Suz’s Pesto

Ingredients:
1 bunch basil leaves
1/3–1/2 cup olive oil
2–3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 cup grated parmesan
Crazy Jane’s Mixed-Up Salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in your handy mini food processor. Pulse until combined. Adjust olive oil to make it the appropriate consistency; adjust spices (it should be salty, it is pasta sauce).
