      Title: Pesto
 Categories: Sauces
      Yield: 6 Servings

      3    Packed cups fresh basil
           -leaves; (removed from
           -stems)
      2 lg Cloves fresh garlic
    1/2 c  Pinenuts; walnuts, almonds,
           -or a combination
    3/4 c  Packed fresh-chopped parsley
    3/4 c  Fresh-grated parmesan
    1/2 c  Olive oil
    1/4 c  Melted butter
           Salt to taste

  Combine everything in a blender on low, then medium speed. Arrange
  things so the blender blade will turn efficiently. Thoroughly work
  everything into a smooth paste. Toss with hot, drained pasta or spoon
  onto hot gnocchi.

  Pesto is a potent green paste, featuring fresh basil leaves. Dried
  basil will NOT do. Because basil is easier to grow out-of-doors than
  in a pot, the pesto season is limited to late summer in upstate New
  York. Because of this limitation, its specialness is augmented.

  Pesto is also rich in protein (nuts and cheese).
