LIGHT PESTO SAUCE
My pesto sauce uses less oil than most pesto sauces. This makes it thicker, but it also makes it a lot lighter. NOTE: This recipe works perfectly if you want to substitute cilantro for basil, and if you use walnuts, almonds, or pecans in place of the pine nuts.

Steps:
- Peel skin from garlic cloves, and chop into big chunks.
- Using a food processor, pulse basil, garlic, and nuts several times until finely chopped.
- Add cheese and ¼ cup of the olive oil, and pulse until blended.
- Pesto will be thick, so add more olive oil if desired for a looser consistency.
