Steps:
- Remove basil leaves from the stems. Shock the leaves in a bowl of ice water and remove immediately to paper towels to dry. (May also use a salad spinner to remove water.)
- Place walnuts and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Add basil leaves and pulse until chopped to desired consistency.
- Pour olive oil into the food processor chute while on low to combine with the basil mixture. Add more olive oil if you desire.
- Remove to a bowl and add salt, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until combined.
- Serve immediately on toasted baguette. May store pesto in refrigerator for 2-3 days in a sealed jar. To save for later, cover pesto with a layer of olive oil and refrigerate.

BASIL PESTO SPREAD
Steps:
- Spread about 1/4 cup of basil pesto on top a brick of cream cheese. Light cream cheese works great too.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 mins until the cheese is warm through and the basil pesto is bubbly.
- Pour ½ cup quartered cherry tomatoes over top when you pull it out of the over. Some will fall to the side and slightly cook in the pesto and some will stay on top, they add great color and a burst of flavor.
- Cook the dip in the same dish that it will be served in so all the pesto pools around the cream cheese.
