179 Days of Dinner - Day 1 - Pesto Pasta

I was inspired for this evening's dinner by the one and only Pioneer Woman.  One of her latest posts extolls the virtues of pesto:

So, armed with basil and pine nuts, I headed to the kitchen.  Here are the delicious results:







Pesto Recipe
1 cup basil
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pine nuts

Combine all ingredients in a food processor.  Put pesto into a bowl and add enough olive oil for desired consistency.  Enjoy!
