Simple Pesto Sauce

I have been getting good use out of my new food processor since I got it about a month ago.  One thing I have wanted to try has been a simple pesto sauce, but my blender just couldn't do the trick.  I had purchased a huge bunch of basil from our local farmers market and thought it was a perfect time to use that food processor for some fresh pesto sauce!  Combine this sauce with some brown rice pasta noodles and you have yourself a healthy, tasty dinner.  Enjoy!

Simple Pesto Sauce

Ingredients

2 cups fresh basil leaves
2 cloves of garlic
2 Tbsp walnuts (or any other nut you prefer)
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup hand grated fresh parmesan cheese
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients into a food processor.  Blend until mixture has reached smooth consistency.  Toss with fresh cooked brown rice pasta, topped with additional fresh grated parmesan cheese.
