Pesto Party

Sorry we haven't posted for a while, but we have been so busy with college applications! But now there seems to be a lull in activity so expect more posts in the future. Last weekend Jimmy made a ton of pesto from his ENORMOUS basil plants. No joke they were huge!

Pesto:

5 cups of basil packed

1/4 cup of parmesan cheese

1/8 cup walnuts or pine nuts

Salt & Pepper

1/2 cup Olive Oil

Combine all ingredients in a food processor except the olive oil. Pulse the ingredients until chopped and combined, then gradually stream in the olive oil until mixture comes together. Mix in with pasta, chicken, fish, anything you want!

If you make a large batch like I did, you can freeze it in an ice-cube tray or plastic bags.

Props to Anna P. for winning the Carthage College Ramen Rage Cook-off!
