Ahhh...the green goodness of basil pesto. In this dish I tossed it with some rotini pasta. I like to use a pasta with swirls or groves because it grabs on to the pesto better. Pesto is great on many things. I like to mix it with a bit of mayo and top off sandwiches or burgers. Read more Yum! See less

- Make the pesto: In a food processor through in the garlic cloves, the basil, and the pine nuts.Pulse a few times to chop up good. Slowly stream in the oil while processor is on. Stop and scrape the sides down. Turn processor on and add the cheese. Pulse until blended. Add the salt and pepper.
