Sundried Tomato Pesto

I love pesto. I grow my own basil so I can have it whenever I want. I made some today to have during the week. Easy, requires just a small chopper, no cooking, minimal clean up. What else could you ask for?

1 cup basil leaves
2 TBSP toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
5 sundried tomatoes, chopped
1 clove of garlic
1/4-1/3 cup of olive oil

Wash and clean the basil. Place it in a chopper or food processor and top with the remaining ingredients. Pulse to your desired consistency. Freezes easily too!
