Last night, Luke grilled some chicken breasts, and I made pesto to mix with some bowtie pasta. Look at us being healthy! Anyway, I got the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, and it was really good. So, if you like pesto, try out this easy recipe:
1 cup firmly packed basil leaves
1/2 cup firmly packed parsley leaves
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pinenuts
1 large clove garlic, quartered
1/4 tsp salt
Mix all of those ingredients together in a blender or food processor until a paste forms. Then gradually add 1/4 cup of olive oil while the machine is running slowly. It should end up the consistency of soft butter.
It was really good tossed with pasta, and it will stay good in the freezer for 3 months!
