Pesto

I've been on a little tear lately where I have been winging it. And pesto was winged tonight.

3 packets basil (.75 oz per container - pretty standard supermarket packets)
1 clove garlic
1/3 c olive oil
more than 1/3 but less than 1/2 c pine nuts
1/3 c Parmesan cheese, grated

Put everything into a food processor and pulse to a paste.
Cook pasta and drain when done.
Add small amount of oil to a large pan. Heat on low, add pasta and pesto. Mix thoroughly. The heat and oil makes the pesto spread/mix easier.

Garnish with more grated parmesan cheese. yum!
