Basil Pesto

When summer is in full swing and temperatures climb past 100, I love the option of a quick fresh meal without lots of preparation or cooking.

Basil Pesto:

• 2 cups of fresh basil leaves from the garden
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (any kind)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Blend in the blender until pasty

• Saute a purple onion
• Cook angel hair pasta, drain, don't rinse, mix with pesto
• Shave fresh raw-milk Parmesan on top
