Pesto Sauce image

This amazing Fresh Pesto sauce is just bursting with flavor from fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, sautéed garlic, and fresh Parmesan Cheese. It takes just minutes to make and I love to serve it with grilled chicken and fish. This homemade pesto is so much better than store bought with considerably less salt. With so much flavor...
