This classic green sauce is a great way to bring flavour to a variety of dishes while equally perfect with simple cheese and crackers. This recipe uses up a bunch of basil if your herb garden is bursting but is do-able with a blend of basil and other tender greens like baby spinach. Reduce waste and blend up some pesto!

2 c loosely packed fresh basil leaves

1/2 c olive oil

1-2 medium galic cloves, minced

1/4 c chopped nuts - walnuts, almonds

1/2 c (~2 oz) Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste
