3/4 c Cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 c Walnut pieces

1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground pepper

To make 2 cups of pesto: Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add

Suggested uses for tomato pesto:
o Stir 1/4 cup pesto into one 8-oz. carton of sour cream for an

sauce over half of a three-egg omelet; fold omelet over, and serve.
o Stir 3 tablespoons pesto into 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter.
Serve the pesto butter as a bread spread, or toss it with hot
vegetables.
