Classic Pesto

It doesn't get much easier than this―just toss everything in a food processor and turn it on. This incredibly versatile sauce freezes well, so you can enjoy the flavors of summer all year long. Plus, it goes with sooo many recipes, including Pesto Pizza with Butternut Squash, Chicken Chili with Pesto, and Pasta Tossed with Shrimp, Vegetables, and Pesto.
