Basil Pesto

We have an abundance of basil growing in our backyard so when I came across an entire article about different pestos in Southern Living I was thrilled. Here is the basic basil pesto. I thought it was very good.

Ingredients:
2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 garlic cloves
3 Tbsp cold water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt

Process all ingredients in food processor until smooth.
