Pesto Sauce Recipe

Chop the basil leaves, discarding the stems. Either chop or push the garlic cloves through a press. The amount of garlic used depends on taste. Combine the basil, garlic, and oil (can use only 1/4 c.) in a blender and mix thoroughly. Add cheese and pine nuts.

Use this sauce in a variety of ways. Mix a couple spoonfuls with hot pasta. Spread it on warm bread. Use as a base for pizza. You can store the leftovers in the fridge - a little of this sauce goes along way.
