Purple Basil Pesto

Despite using purple basil, the pesto comes out a greenish brown.

  • 2/3 c shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 c lightly toasted pine nuts
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 c purple basil, tightly packed
  • 2/3 c extra virgin olive oil

1. With the blades running, drop in garlic cloves. When garlic is minced, turn off blender.

2. Add all other ingredients except the evoo. Blend.

3. Slowly add olive oil until a smooth paste is formed. It may take more or less oil, depending on how tightly packed the basil was.
