What to do with fresh basil besides sucking it up your nose it smells so good...

Homemade Garlic Pesto Sauce

4 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves, rinsed and patted dry

4 garlic gloves

1 cup olive oil

1/2 cup pine nuts

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

In a food processor, combine all ingredients except cheese. Process until smooth and well blended. Stir in the cheese if you're eating it right away. If you're going to freeze it for later use, I wait to add the cheese.

Then, like the Italians, eat it with a supreme look on your face! (I try not to moan too loud.)
