Walnut-Basil Pesto

Yum
The Pesto Sauce:
1/2 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup of walnuts
1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese
3 cloves of grated garlic
2 cups of Italian Basil
1/2 cup of Italian Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste

Notes:  I use walnuts in this pesto because they are frankly a lot less expensive than pine nuts.  I always have walnuts in my freezer.  If you prefer, you can substitute pine nuts.

 Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor until it forms a thick sauce.

    The combination of walnut and basil is extraordinary, though we Indians often combine peanuts and coriander for that nut chutney eaten in South. Wonderful!

    Your pesto looks perfect. I love adding walnuts to pesto, especially when I add a little cilantro, I love the combination!
