3 Cloves of garlic optional

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup parmesan grated cheese

Preparation

1. Mix everything together in a blender or food processor until
 smooth.

 2. Store it in a refrigerator in air tight container. I prefer to make pesto sauce in summer time. When basil is in abundance and fresh. Also, I use basil sauce as sandwich spread and add red ,white and pesto sauces to my pasta.
3. I make vegetable sandwich using cream cheese, pesto sauce, cucumber,  lettuce, tomato and bread of choice. This is quick fix to any dull lunch.
