Fresh Pesto:
Pine Nuts
Fresh Basil Leaves
Garlic Clove
Olive Oil
Fresh Parmesan Cheese
Snip a few leaves into the bowl of a pestle + mortar till it's perhaps 1/4 full, pour in a similar amount of pine kernals, add chopped clove, a dash of olive oil and mash it all up till you've got a beautiful green mush. Now grate the *fresh* parmesan into the mixture and mix it in - the smell should be making your mouth water by now, so it's best to have put the pasta on about 5 minutes earlier so that you can immediately take it out, drain it, and mix in your freshly made pesto sauce. Lightly coat the pasta with the sauce and tuck in. It's quick and it's fabulous. Let me know if you try it out!
