Simple-to-make pesto using fresh basil and walnuts instead of pine nuts.
2 c. fresh basil
1/3 c. walnuts
1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
3 clove garlic
sea salt to taste
Combine the basil and the walnuts in a food processor; pulse a few times. Add the garlic, and pulse a few times more.
Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended. Add a pinch of sea salt to taste.
Use with quinoa or brown rice pasta.
