pesto- 4 ways

Sun-dried tomato pesto

1 1/2 c. sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (I bought the jar at Costco).

1 clove of garlic

1/4 c. toasted walnuts

1 c. fresh basil leaves

1/2 c. parmesan cheese ( I probably use a lot more.)

salt and pepper

Put all the ingredients in the food processor and then use the oil from the sundried tomatoes jar to thin out the pesto until it is the consistency that you want. Tastes great on pasta.

Spinach basil pesto

2 c. spinach leaves

1 c. fresh basil leaves

2 cloves garlic

1/4 c. toasted pine nuts

1/2 c. parmesan cheese (Again, I probably use a lot more.)

salt and pepper

Olive oil

Put all ingredients in the food processor and blend. Slowly add olive oil until it is the consistency that you want.
