Pesto

2 - 2.5 cups fresh basil
1/3 cup pine nuts, almonds, walnuts or other nuts
3 cloves of garlic
1/3 cup olive oil/water mixture (ratio dependent on fat content desired)
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmeasan cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until it becomes a paste. Mix in with pasta dishes or spread onto sandwiches and pizza.

TO FREEZE: Spoon the pesto into ice cube trays. Top with thin layer of olive oil to prevent browning. Defrost cubes individually as needed for pastas, pizzas, sandwiches.
