2 ea	Garlic Cloves
1/2 cup	Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

Pesto is any sauce made with herbs ground to a pulp with a mortar and pestle. However, for our purpose it will mean basil and we will use a blender or food processor.

Put the basil, parsley, parmesan cheese, pine nuts & garlic into your food processor (blender) blending ingredients until smooth.

Next, add olive oil slowly while first ingredients are blending slow to medium speed.

Lastly, add your salt and pepper before turning off your food processor.

NOTE: Some people have dire allergies to nuts. Always advise before serving that nuts are an ingredient.
