SIMPLE GARLIC and BASIL PESTO
“This recipe is something that can make quickly and easily using a blender. Everything you need is easy to find in your local supermarket. This paste is great for putting on or in meat and pastas, or with cottage cheese in stuffed pasta shells. For best taste, pesto should be heated up in the meal its being prepared for.”

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup pine nuts. 1/8 cup Brazil nuts
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon chili powder
Place the basil in a blender. Pour in about 1 tablespoon of the oil, and blend basil into a paste. Gradually add pine nuts, Brazil nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, chili powder, and remaining oil. Continue to blend until smooth.
