OT: Pesto Sauce

This is very rough as I am not the type to measure things very closely. I also enjoy it coming out a little different every time. For me, pulling some out for dinner on a dreary February day is like eating some concentrated summer.

Start with a cup of basil leaves (some people replace part or all of the basil with arugula -- not me) and put it in your blender/food processor.
Add a few garlic cloves, peeled and chopped into 2-3 pieces.
Add 1/4 c of pine nuts.
Add 1/2 c grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
Add 1/4 c extra virgin cold press olive oil.

Start blending. Add more olive oil if desired to get the texture right. Taste and add more of any ingredients that appeal to you.

When it's blended to creamy -- some prefer it a coarser grind -- you can either freeze it or eat it within a few days.

I like it with pasta, vegetables, and chopped up real tomatoes, or sometimes as a sandwich spread.

Enjoy!
