3/4 cup of basil leaves
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons pine nuts (thanks Susan!)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Start with everything except the oil in your blender or food processor (more on that later). Grind 'em up, then start drizzling in the oil until everything's the right consistency.
Mmm, goopy green stuff. |
Here's my question for you, dear readers: which should I get? Black & Decker makes both a blender and a food processor. The blender has something like 12 speeds and a pulse function, and is tall and skinny, as blenders often are. The food processor has a pulse/off button and an on button, and is more bowl-like in shape with one of those special multi-use blades. Both run $29.99 at Target. I'm tempted to go for the FP, because I think the larger bowl would be easier to clean than the tall blender jar. What's your experience with such things?
