THE BEST BASIL PESTO
Pesto is so versatile, the principle of herbs, nuts and cheese, bolstered by garlic and good extra virgin olive oil, can be taken in so many different ways. This is the classic combo, celebrating basil, pine nuts and Parmesan, but use what you've got in stock.

Steps:
- Peel and bash the garlic in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt.
- Pick the basil leaves and add with the pine nuts, and pound to a coarse paste.
- Muddle in the extra virgin olive oil and finely grate and stir in the Parmesan, adding a splash of water if you like it a little runnier, then continue bashing and pounding until smooth.
- Have a taste and season with salt and black pepper, if needed. For a lovely creamy finish, try crumbling in and stirring through a cooked Jersey Royal. Serve with grilled meat or fish, or simply stirred through pasta - delicious!

BASIC PESTO
Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.

Steps:
- Pick the leaves off of the stems. Discard any flower buds, stems or leaves that aren't in good shape. All we want are leaves; small, medium or large; as long as they are a healthy green, not brown or molding!
- Wash the basil. Just wash them in a large bowl under cold water, no soap!
- Chop the pine nuts and garlic in the food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender.
- Add the basil leaves, lemon, and olive oil and chop. Stuff the basil leaves (in small batches) into the food processor and chop them into the garlic, olive oil and pine nuts.
- Chop the mix until it forms a thick, smooth paste.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the food processor and blend! IMPORTANT NOTE: if you intend to freeze the pesto, leave the cheese OUT and add it when you thaw and use the pesto.
- Add 1 teaspoon of sugar or Splenda to the batch to bring the flavor alive. (Optional).
- The pesto will keep in refrigerator for about a week, or you can freeze it and it will last for 3 to 6 months.
- Serving? Most people serve it over pasta or use it to season fish and chicken dishes.
