Basic pesto sauce
This is nice to make - especially during the summer months; you're still having a great tasting meal but it's done in no time.
Serve over hot pasta or chilled cheese tortellini - great over hot ones too!
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, quartered
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg - optional
In blender place all ingredients. cover and blend at medium speed untill all is well mixed.
Add/take away garlic and/or basil to your preference. I personally cant get enough of either. I'm not a fan of nutmeg - so usually don't use it.
