Dave Anderson's Pesto
Ingredients
-
5 stalks fresh basil
-
16 ounces cottage cheese, lowfat — nonfat is just as good
-
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
-
1 cup pine nuts — or walnuts
-
5 cloves garlic
-
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Mix all ingredients except pine nuts together in a blender or food processor.
-
Add water to get right texture if necessary (kindof like thick pancake batter).
-
Add pine nuts and process briefly. The more you process, the smaller will be the pieces of nut in the final product.
