If you are making pesto at home:
For a quick pesto recipe, combine 2 cups of fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup of pine nuts or walnuts, and 3 minced garlic cloves in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth, adding more olive oil if needed for consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate for later use, or use immediately to make these yummy vehgie skewers .
