Pesto Sauce

Oh Pesto! How can you not just love it?

2 cups fresh basil leaves, washed and dried off
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Put basil and garlic in food processor. Turn it on, and start drizzling in the olive oil. You want it pasty, but not too oily. You may not need the full amount, so just eyeball it to the consistancy you like. Mix with 12 - 16 oz. of hot pasta of your choice! My personal favorite is the small shell noodles. My kids prefer speghetti or fetticini.

This will compliment a breaded chicken or fish dish really well!
