Having a native Italian as your next door neighbor reaps many benefits. She has made us some yummy treats in the past and her calzones...so delicious! Last week Guiliana was sweet enough to teach me and a couple other gals from the neighborhood how to make PESTO which I am a huge fan of so I had to take her up on her offer. I was so excited to use my fresh basil from the garden and it was so easy too! So far we've enjoyed it over yummy bread, spaghetti and on sandwiches. I love it!
Thank you Guiliana!!
Here is the recipe we followed:
2 cups fresh basil leaves
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender. 
Aren't these little jars of pesto the cutest?!

Yummers in the Tummers. I love Pesto too, thanks for sharing. By the way, you could be a pesto model, hahaha!
Thank you for the recipe. We are growing basil in our garden and just don't know what to do with all of it. Looks good!
Mmm....We're coming to your house for dinner.
Cute hair, btw!
No but your hair is to die for. J/k but I do like your new dew.
I love foods that are made from scratch...too bad I never make anything. Sounds yummy though! Love the picture! It looks rally good. Can I have some :)
Yummy! I love pesto and have been looking for a good recipe. I will try this. Yum!! Your hair looks so cute in that pic.
Ash, I can't believe you are holding out on us!! you need to post this on our slowly dying cooking blog!!!!
Mmmmmmm! Sounds so yummy! I've got a big old patch of basil in my herb garden that I've been trying to decide what to do with it- Can't wait!
