Ingredients
  • Fresh basil leaves, washed and stemmed, enough to almost fill a standard blender.
  • 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 limes or lemons, juiced
  • 2 to 5 cloves (or more!) garlic, pressed
  • sea salt, to taste
  • 1/2 to 1 cup pumpkin seeds, walnuts, [or pine nuts]

Directions
  1. Grind all ingredients in a blender until you have a course sauce.
  2. Note: Pesto sauce should never be heated, because this takes away from the freshness of the basil (although it is okay to reheat it along with any leftovers).
