SIMPLE PESTO

Fresh and bright, this pesto is delicious and incredibly easy to make.

• 2 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts
• 2 large cloves garlic
• ½ cup 1808 Olive Oil
• ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Combine basil leaves, pine nuts or walnuts and garlic (or garlic scapes!) in a food processor and process until very finely minced.
