My daughter (Jessie) loves pesto sauce.  It's easy to make (although you need a food processor) and can be kept in the refrigerator.  You simply put 1-2 full cup of fresh Basil leaves, 1/2 cup of Parmesan-Reggiano or Romano cheese, 1/3 cup pine nuts and 2-3 chopped garlic cloves into the food processor.  Purists will tell you to use Pecorino cheese, but it's your choice.  Blend till finely chopped and then while still blending, pour in 1/2 cup of EVO.  You can salt and pepper to taste.  There you have it!
