Homemade Basil Pesto

From Taste of Home

I've encouraged you to use homemade pesto, so I should probably tell you how to make it!

*if you're not growing basil in your summer garden (or in a planter), now would be a good time to start*

Ingredients:
1 cup tightly packed basil leaves
1 cup tightly packed parsley leaves
1 to 2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. salt

Add all ingredients except olive oil to a food processor (if you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender).  Pulse while slowly adding olive oil through the mouth of the food processor.  Pulse until almost smooth.
