Title: SPUR-OF-THE-MOMENT PESTO
Categories: Sauces, Italian
Yield: 6 servings

1 1/2 c Basil, globe, fresh
1 1/2 c Basil, holy (krapau)
3 Garlic clove
2 ts Chives; chopped
1 1/2 c Olive oil
1 c Parmesan; grated
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper, black
1/2 c Pecan pieces
1 c Chicken, leftover; minced
2 Anchovy fillets (opt)

In a blender or food processor combine the basils,
garlic, chives, cheese, anchovies, salt, pepper, and
1/2 cup of the olive oil. Blend at low speed until a
puree consistency is achieved. Drizzle in the
remaining oil, blending at low speed until the oil is
completely incorporated. Add the chicken and process
no more than five seconds. Add the pecans and process
no more than another five seconds; the chicken and
pecans should still be identifiable. Serve as a sauce
for pasta salad or hot pasta.
