2 To 3 - cups fresh basil leaves
½ cup, approximately, fresh oregano leaves
4 Tbs. Pine nuts
4 Cloves garlic, peeled
¼ ts Salt
½ c Extra virgin olive oil
½ c Parmesan and/or Romano cheese, grated
Place all of the above in the blender and blend until fairly smooth. If you plan on using pesto to fry, omit the cheese and add separately. Freeze or refrigerate any unused pesto. You can also add other fresh herbs that are available. Add them to taste. I sometimes like to include some rosemary or parsley in my pesto, whatever I can find fresh.
