Make Your Own Pesto - Haggen's

Editor's note: in this recipe, you are invited to discover "The magic of basil" which is "Explosively Flavorful....Surprisingly Nutritious". "Fresh, fragrant basil is a kitchen staple in cultures across the globe. There are more than 60 varieties, each with their own flavor and color profile. Work basil into your daily diet, because those little leaves contain heaps of vitamins and minerals that boost your body's function, including Vitamins K, A, and C, plus calcium, iron, folate, copper, manganese, and magnesium." Editor's note:  I am growing 2 types of basil on my balcony farm: Thai - which is fab. with shrimp and curries, and Dolce Fresca which has an incredible aroma and great for caprese salads!!
(no serving size given)

2 cups basil leaves, loosely packed
2 cloves garlic
2 T. pine nuts, toasted
1 t. lemon zest
1 T. freshly* squeezed* lemon juice
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Kosher* salt and freshly* ground black* pepper

In a food processor, combine all ingredients except olive oil. Pulse ingredients until almost smooth. Slowly add oil until mixture forms the desired consistency - for you*. Season to taste with S&P.

"God's promises are sure".

Love,

MM
