Recently I harvested basil from the garden and made pesto. It was so easy and so delicious. I used the pesto to make a pasta salad.
Pesto Pasta Salad
6 oz pasta shells, cooked, drained
1/2 cup homemade pesto
2 artichoke hearts, diced
3 sun dried tomatoes, diced
Combine ingredients. Chill and enjoy!
Homemade Pesto
2 cups fresh basil leaves
2/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Combine the basil, olive oil and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth (scraping down he sides as necessary). Place the mixture into a bowl and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Chill until ready to use.
