Easy-Peasy Pesto


You need:

1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/4 pound Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (grated)

3 ounces toasted pine nuts (toast them in oven until golden brown-around 5-10 minutes)

2 cloves peeled garlic

1 bunch of basil (45 or so leaves)

1 pound pasta

Then: Pulse all ingredients in a food processor or blender until it forms a thick paste. We used the Tupperware Quick Chef and that worked well too, but required some strength. Mix with hot pasta and serve immediately. Serves 2 with enough for later.
