Pesto is also one of the most delicious of things. I can't take any credit what-so-ever for this recipe however.
This recipe comes from Jonsi and Alex's Cookbook (a link to their page can be found on the side bar). It is well worth a look, there are many wonderful recipes in there.
For this basil pesto you will need;
1 cup of Basil Leaves
4 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 clove of Garlic
1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup of pine nuts
All you need to do is throw it all into a blender together until blended into a paste. It's simple and wonderfully tasty. On this occasion I had it with Gnocchi but it works with pasta, in salads, wraps, sandwiches...anything really. When I have it with pasta type dished I like to put a little cream cheese with it. It a nice little extra.
