Pesto
1/2 cup pine nuts
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 cups fresh basil
1/4 lb. parmesan cheese, grated fresh
1/4 lb. romano cheese, grated fresh
1 1/2 cups olive oil
Combine all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor. As you are running the food processor, gradually pour in the oil. Continue adding oil until the mixture is soft but not runny.
Our comments: Awesome! This is nice to have in the refrigerator all the time. For a great meal, just boil pasta and add some of this pesto. Throw in some boiled shrimp for a real feast. Allyson keeps sack of frozen shrimp from Sam's in the freezer for just this purpose. While one might argue that these shrimp are a bit rubbery, they seem to find forgiveness with the pesto.
