Pesto
["2 c. fresh basil leaves, thoroughly washed and patted dry", "4 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped", "1 c. chopped walnuts", "1 c. olive oil (best quality)", "1 c. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (imported)", "1/4 c. Romano cheese, freshly grated (imported)", "salt to taste"]
["Combine basil, garlic and walnuts in the bowl of a food processor or half the recipe and use a blender and chop.", "For basil, I use my Sunbeam Oscar, then add to blender with other ingredients.", "Leave the motor running and add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream.", "Shut the motor off to add the cheese and a big pinch of salt.", "Process briefly to combine, then ready to use. Makes 2 cups; enough to sauce 2 pounds of pasta."]
