BASIL PECAN PESTO
I prefer the taste of pecans over the pine nuts usually called for in pesto recipes. I developed this recipe over a summer of trial and error and prefer it to all other pesto recipes!

GRILLED PESTO RAVIOLI
Cooking the ravioli in one skillet all the way through means there is no need to boil, drain and reserve the starchy cooking water. The residual cooking water will thin out the pesto just enough for a loose coating and help the sauce thicken a touch without becoming gummy.

Steps:
- Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on the grill over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 chopped onion and sauté about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add 2 sliced garlic cloves and cook 1 minute. Stir in 1 pound refrigerated ravioli and 2 cups water and shimmy the pan to settle the ravioli. Cover the grill and cook, stirring once or twice, until the ravioli are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thin layer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup pesto; top with basil and Parmesan.
BASIL AND PECAN PESTO
I was craving a light and savory pesto one summer night, but didn't want to run to the store for the only missing ingredient: pine nuts. This recipe is a combination of different pesto recipes. The lime juice livens this pesto up in an interesting way. I like to use this pesto for pasta, but it easily takes the place of any classic pesto. I also use it for a topping on eggplant sandwiches, a spread for wraps, or a dip for pizza or veggies.

BASIL PECAN PESTO
My lovely cousin Carol sent me home from her house in Tampa with the most delicious pesto. We made it last as long as possible, and then I decided to make my own version of hers. I think I did a passable job! It is different, but still delicious! We love it on pizza with mushrooms and onions or pasta! I added a little lemon juice to keep the color bright. I also have been told that parsley does the same thing, so I added some of that too.

BASIL PECAN PESTO RAVIOLIS
Steps:
- To Make Dough: (wonton skins can be used instead) make a volcano shaped mound of the flour, crack the eggs into the middle and slowly add the flour until it is a tight ball (if it is still too loose, add more flour) kneead for 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll dough out with a pasta machine or roller, cut into rounds and fill with pesto (see below), wipe one half of round with luke warm water and seal. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Filling: Place Basil, 3 cloves of the garlic, pecans, and cheese in a food processor, process with enough oil to keep it going until it is finely ground. Sauce: Melt butter and saute the remaining two cloves of garlic (finely chopped), drain raviolis, toss with butter and serve, covered with chopped basil and grated parmesan or romano
