Tasty Pesto recipe

Place 2 cups of tightly packed leaves and two cloves of peeled garlic into a food processor. pulse to chop, then add one cup of parmesan and one cup of pine nuts (try sunflower seeds for a cheaper alternative) and blend to a pulp. While the motor is running , drizzle in a cup of olive oil and process until it forms a smooth paste. Add salt and pepper to taste and cover with a little olive oil to help keep its colour. If you're cooking with basil, be sure to add it at the last minute to reduce any loss of flavour by heating it.
