Pesto

I was waiting for some time to see the basil grown and to make this delight in the most natural style.
Now it was its time.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 clove garlic
• 1 big bouquet o fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts (optionally toasted)
• 50g grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• juice of a half lemon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Keep only the basil leaves and wash them well with cold water.
2. Mix all ingredients with a blender.

That's all! It can be kept for a week in the fridge in a closed jar  or it can be frozen up to 6 months.
 When I have made this recipe, my new bread was just cooled, so I have eaten slice by slice with pesto and I simply couldn't stop.
