Pesto – Cooking Aboard with Jill

Ingredients

• 4 loose cups of fresh basil (you can use other fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro and arugula)
• 3 tablespoons of pine nuts (I used roasted, salted pumpkin seeds and have used cashews or pecans)
• 3-4 large cloves of garlic, whole
• ½ cup olive oil
• ½ cup or 3 ounces of an aged cheese in chunks (parmesan, romano or manchego cheese)
