Tips
- For Homemade Pesto Sauce: Mince 2 cloves garlic in food processor or blender. Add 2 cups fresh basil and 3 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts. Process until smooth, scraping sides down once. With machine running, drizzle 3/4 cup olive oil into bowl; process until smooth. Add 3/4 cup (3 oz.) Sargento Artisan Blends Shredded Parmesan Cheese; process briefly, just until cheese is blended throughout.
