Note: Due to economic forces beyond my comprehension, pine nuts are now insanely expensive (like, $24/lb). In this recipe, walnuts work JUST FINE.

Teri’s Pesto

1 bunch fresh basil (leaves only)

1/2 stick butter melted in microwave with 5 cloves crushed garlic

2 oz heavy cream

2 oz olive oil

2 oz cream cheese

1/2 cup pine nuts (or walnuts)

3/4 cup parmesan or romano cheese (already grated)

In food processor, pulse basil leaves until chopped.

While the machine is running, add butter with garlic, cream, oil, dream cheese.

Stop and push down sides.

Add nuts and cheese; process until smooth.

Toss with hot drained pasta.
