I was able to coax this recipe out of an Italian friend of mine. It is a great pesto recipe. Use it on its own or dilute with warm cream to make a creamy pesto. This is perfect to make during the summer and then freeze to have all winter long.
4 cups basil, packed
1 1/2 cups olive oil
3/4 cup pine nuts
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
4 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tbsp Romano cheese
1 tsp salt
Puree all the ingredients together in a food processor. Serve at room temperature.
Refrigerate for up to one week or freeze for longer.
