EASY BASIL PESTO WITH ALMONDS
Save some money using garden-grown basil and almonds in place of pricey pine nuts. This recipe is easy, fast, and very tasty. Summer on a plate! Serve over warm pasta with a side salad and a nice loaf of bread. I also spread this on toast. If you have left over, put in a small jar and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Keep refrigerated.

BASIC ALMOND PESTO
From Ed Baines-posted in response to a recipe request. This looks like a rustic pesto,not like store bought versions. I haven't tried it as of yet, but I imagine processing would make it smoother if desired.

BASIC PESTO
Traditionally pesto is made in a mortar and pestle and it takes both time and force to pound nuts, garlic, basil and oil into a creamy emulsified sauce. The food processor has certainly shortened the process, but it's still important to slowly stream in the oil to create a smooth, vibrant sauce. Stirring in the Parmesan cheese at the end will thicken the pesto a bit and add extra seasoning.
