Basic Pesto

The Pesto:

• 2 cups fresh Basil or Parsley

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

• 1/2 - 2/3 cup Olive oil

• 1/3 cup Walnuts or Cashews

• 2 Garlic cloves

• 2 tsp lemon juice

• 2 pinches of salt

Put all ingredients into a mini Cuisinart, or small blender and blend. I do add a little more salt based on my very salty tongue. I start 1/3 oil then add to create the texture you desire. I kinda like it less smooth. You can freeze or use with in the week.
