Here's What My Neighbor Taught Me Today:: 3 Part Pesto (You Finish it Later!)

I seem to be having a bumper crop of basil this year!  

Good thing that I love basil!!

My neighbor, an avid gardener, taught me how to make 

3 Part Pesto Today.

The reason it's called 3 Part is because of the 5 ingredients you use in pesto

(basil, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese,)

you only use

BASIL

GARLIC

and

OLIVE OIL.

Step 1::

You need a lot of basil to make one batch.

Sandy said that she uses 4 cups.

I just cut a lot of my basil.

You also need garlic.  I used an entire head in this recipe.

I filled my food processor with basil to the top of the bowl.

I also added the garlic and some olive oil!

I don't know how much olive oil I added, I just poured a thin layer on the bottom.

I pulsed the food processor until the basil was finely crushed,

along with the garlic.

 I also added more olive oil and salt.

 

 

When everything was finely ground, I put the 

3 Part Pesto

into an ice cube tray.  

I filled all the squares in the tray.

 

My 3 part pesto is now in the freezer.

I'll take it out of the cubes tomorrow and put the pesto in a plastic bag. 

It will be delicious when the snow falls and I'm making spaghetti or beef stew.

I'm only saying this now because 

I love pesto!

I can hardly wait for the first snow fall.
