Default Pesto today


It was time to trim down the basil in one of my deck pots, so I made
pest (dinner tonight) and put away some basil and olive oil in an ice
cube tray.
Here's the recipe that I use.

Pesto
2 cups basil leaves, packed
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup Romano cheese, grated
4-6 cloves garlic
1/2 pine nuts (I used walnuts)
1/4 teaspoon salt
process all ingredients except the olive oil until blended then add
the olive oil in a stream as the processor is running.

It's good. Nice texture, a little thicker than most.
