What to do with all that basil


My garden is a little overgrown with basil so I made pesto tonight. I'll use it on pasta when I want a meatless meal. I like to say meatless so o don't scare off all the meat eaters with the word vegetarian. 


Here's my recipe:

1 cup toasted almonds
1 cup good olive oil
6 cloves of garlic
3 cups fresh basil
Dash of nutmeg
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c grated Parmesan

Add all ingredients into a food processor and process until it's the consistency you like. 

I'm freezing some of mine and eating some tomorrow night.


Enjoy!!!  Here is a link to 50 Things To Make With Pesto
