Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 c Basil leaves, fresh
2 Garlic cloves, peeled (may
-use up to 5 cloves) *
1/4 c Pine nuts
1/4 c Parmesan cheese, fresh grate
1/4 c Lemon juice, fresh squeezed

Put the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese in a blender or food
processor. Turn the machine on and drizzle in the lemon juice. Continue to
puree until a smooth paste is formed.
* The amount of garlic you use is a matter of personal taste. Also, some
garlic is more pungent. So start perhaps with 2 medium cloves, then
taste, and add more if, as I do, you like a strong, garlicky flavor.
Makes 3/4 cup pesto
