Ingredients
- 2 tbsp pine nuts (or walnuts, if you like a tangier, more robust taste)
- 2 cups fresh basil
- 1/2 cup olive oil (the better quality, the better tasting the pesto!)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese (I use Romano, as it’s not as strong)

hungryteacher saysCaprese Salad. I was in Italy this summer. There is nothing, NOTHING!, better than fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil. Especially at a sidewalk cafe in Italy. But even on my patio at home.
