We have a food processor and hardly ever use it. I'm sure we could find more ways to use one. Never had pesto, guess because I don't like the taste of basil.

That's a pretty cool looking food processor you have. You're always so busy and I'm sure Mikes sister will be happy with her pesto

@much2say parmesan cheese,garlic,walnut or pine nut.Olive oil I put the basil leaves and garlic first.Grind and chopped if finely.Add the walnut or pine chopped if fine.Then olive oil slowly blend it in.very easy.Salt and pepper for taste
