RECIPE
PRESTO PESTO
A full flavoured pesto which is wonderful mixed through pasta or drizzled on sauce.
2 cups fresh basil
1/3 cup pine nuts (or walnuts, pecans, almonds or cashews)
2 or 3 cloves chopped garlic
1/3 grated parmesan or any other hard italian cheese (Romano or Pecorino)
1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil (add as necessary to get correct consistency)

MARY'S TIP - EVERY NUT CHANGES THE FLAVOUR SLIGHTLY.  YOU CAN ROAST NUTS BEFORE HAND  WHICH REALLY BRINGS OUT THE FLAVOUR OF THE NUT.  YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE CHILLI IF YOUR WANT TO SPICE IT UP.  SQUEEZE IN 1/2 JUICE IF YOU WANT IT ZESTY.

I hope you enjoy this recipe.  For more delicious recipes please visit my website http://www.maryjoancalder.com and visit my shop where you can purchase Mary's Kitchen Cookbook and other kitchen items.
