PESTO

We first started making pesto a few years ago.  It has changed our lives!  It is delicious on sandwiches (especially paninis), chicken, pasta, bread, etc.  Try adding it to our Brunch Rolls (just spread it over the top of the cream cheese).

2 1/2 – 3 C basil leaves, gently packed
3/4 C fresh Parmesan cheese
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 C pinenuts, toasted
1/2-3/4C extra virgin olive oil
1/4 t kosher salt, plus more to taste
a few cracks pepper

Place everything but olive oil in a food processor.  Give it a few pulses until things are chopped up.

Slowly pour in olive oil while processor is running until you reach the consistency you want. Add additional salt to taste. Eat it right away or store in the fridge or freezer.
