Pesto

3-4 C fresh basil leaves (from the garden!)

2/3 C olive oil

½ C pine nuts

½ C parmesean cheese

2 cloves minced garlic

½ t salt

Throw it in the blender and blend until smooth-ish. This much is good for about a pound of pasta. If we have a ton of basil in the garden then I just make up this recipe and freeze it in baggies to use throughout the year.
