My apartment herb garden has been going strong for over six months now and we have produced more basil than I know what to do with. We usually make a margarita pizza and just sprinkle over the freshly cut basil, but the plant is starting to flower so it was time to cut most of the leaves and make a yummy basil pesto.

Oh so classic and so easy. The fresh basil really does make a difference. I don't think I could go back to pre-made, store-bought pesto again!
