i am trying out a tiny little green thumb this summer. i have always lived in a place where a garden just wasn't an option, and although it's not now, i did manage to get a little planter of herbs planted! and wa-lah! i had enough basil last week to make something so delicious. it's called pesto pizza, and i owe the recipe to my amazing sister-in-law valerie, who is one of the greatest cooks i know. it's a favorite at our house and i was so proud of myself for having the basil in my own little garden instead of having to buy it.
pesto:
3 + cups basil (you can use 1/2 spinach and 1/2 basil)
1/4 c olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1/4 c pine nuts (you can actually use walnuts too)
blend away, until you get the consistency you like
pizza:
1 lb sausage (or tofu-valerie makes it with this, and it's so good)
1/2 an onion cut in chunks
1/2 green pepper
1/2 orange pepper (has best flavor out of all peppers in my opinion)
1 c mozzarella cheese
