Pesto

2 cups fresh basil
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1/2 c olive oil
3 tbsp walnuts
3 tbsp garlic
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Stores for a few days in the fridge, or freeze it in an ice cube tray. When the cubes are frozen, put them in a ziploc bag in the freezer to pull out as needed. You can combine a cube of this with a cube of butter for pesto garlic bread; combine 1 cube per 8oz of cooked pasta, 1 tbsp butter, and 1/4 c parmesan cheese for easy pesto pasta; add a cube to marinara sauce for more flavor.
