BASIC PESTO
I grow basil in the summer and make pesto out of it to enjoy in appetizers, on pasta, etc! This basic pesto can be frozen and used in recipes year-round: just spoon it into an empty plastic ice cube tray, put the tray in a big freezer bag, and store in the freezer. Any time you need pesto, just pop out one of these pesto 'cubes' and let it thaw!
