Homemade Pesto

PESTO

2 packed cups fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

2 large cloves garlic, toasted in their skins

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Using a food processor, pulse the basil, parsley and pine nuts. Remove the skins from the garlic. With the machine running, drop the garlic into the bowl, then gradually pour in the oil. You may need slightly more or less oil to make a paste. Add the parmesan cheese, and pulse to combine.
