Orgasmic Homemade Pesto

Pesto is one of those simple, and simply amazing things. You can put it in eggs, burgers, pasta, sandwiches, salads, cakes (well not cakes), and pretty much any food for an awesome kick! We made pesto burgers last night (recipe to come) and I made pesto eggs with sharp cheddar for breakfast. YUM! You can too!

Ingredients:

• Fresh Basil (We got 4 oz of organic fresh basil, cause they only had organic)
• Grated Parmesan Cheese (We got a bag of the grated lucerine parmesan cheese, and it was on sale too for only 2.50 at Pavillion)
• 4 cloves of fresh garlic (or more if you're bf/gf isn't watching)
• extra virgin olive oil

1. cut/rip off the basil stems.
2. peel garlic
3. take food processor (we didn't have one) or a blender (score) and put the basil, garlic, parmesan, and about 3 table spoons of olive oil (to start with), take a wooden spoon and push all the ingredients down into the blade. Take spoon out. Turn on. (Make sure cats, children, and animals are away from the kitchen... It is loud, and scary O.o)
4. turn off blender, give it another good stir with the wooden spoon and push the unblended mixture down into the blade. remove spoon. reblend. (repeat depending on how you like your pesto.)
5. Put pesto in a airtight container. You're going to want to keep this fresh and use it as much as possible!

And you're done. So simple, so delicious. And the pesto and parmesan were only 6.50. It made a ton of pesto. You only need a tablespoon or two to kick up any recipe. YUM! Have fun, and remember, DO NOT put a spoon into the blender while it is on. It is very dangerous... And if you put you're wooden spoon in while it is on you'll have added fiber. O.o Oooops!
