Basil-Almond-Garlic Pesto

This is the best Pesto Recipe I have found... so fast and easy and it doesn't make a gallon!  The recipe comes from THE WHOLESOME DISH.



Ingredients

3 cups packed fresh basil leaves from about 3 oz. fresh basil
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil



Instructions

In a food processor or blender, add the basil, almonds, parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper. Turn on the processor for about 15 seconds to break down the ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the processor.
Turn the processor on and slowly drizzle in the olive oil until well combined.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

I freeze mine and use as needed.  It fills up one ice cube tray.
