Kevin's Homecoming Meal

The other day when I was preparing Kevin's "Homecoming" meal, I was trying to choose the perfect appetizer; luckily, I didn't have to look further than my little garden for the right inspiration - basil! That was all it took for me to decide on pesto. I wish my photography skills were a bit more advanced because, the picture turned out kinda questionable. I'm sure you still get the idea though. :)

1 Tablespoons Chopped Garlic
3 Cups Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Cup Good Olive Oil **I may have added a bit more, but initially I put in 1/2 cup**
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan

Place the garlic, basil leaves, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor . With the processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until the pesto is thoroughly pureed. Add the Parmesan and puree for a minute. It's great with toast points, crackers, or fresh veggies.
