Basil Almond Pesto

Ok. So this isn't exactly a low-fat recipe. In fact, this recipe's pretty much all fat. The good news is that it's all in the form of the so-called "good fats" from nuts and olive oil. This pesto recipe uses almonds which are a lot easier to find than pine nuts (plus, I just happened to have them in bulk...)




2.5 cups firmly packed basil leaves
1/2 cups roasted unsalted almonds
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 large cloves garlic
Salt and pepper to taste 

1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and mix. 
2. Serve immediately.
