Pesto

You really don't need to over think making pesto. Blend a handful of basil, a handful of parm, a handful of olive oil, a handful of toasted pine nuts and a couple cloves of garlic in a food processor. Toss in a few pinches of salt and pepper. This is enough pesto to cover 450 grams, or a standard box, of pasta. Adding some fresh green peas right before you serve it might be fun.
