Presto Pesto!

 Gnocchi a la Pesto

Love pesto? Make it yo-self!  Combine fresh basil leaves, a few cloves of garlic, grated parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and good quality olive oil in a food processor and voila!...fresh pesto. If you are a curious cook like me, try swapping a few ingredients.... Trade the basil for italian parsley or spinach (much different flavor!), the parmesan cheese for feta, and even the pine nuts for macadamia nuts or walnuts!  These changes will provide a world of different flavors to your pesto!  Other suggestions for the green stuff?  Try arugula or peas as your base!
