Pesto

Since I have tons of basil and I'm going in for surgery in 4 days, I better make some pesto soon!!


I sort of used this recipe from http://www.closetcooking.com/2010/08/basil-pesto.html
I made two batches

In both batches I doubled the recipe but I used walnuts instead of pine nuts because that's what I had, a little more garlic and in the second batch I not only doubled the entire recipe I used twice as much basil.
