Pesto Party!!

It was time to harvest the basil!  What do you do with all this basil???  My mom suggested that I make pesto, freeze it in ice cube trays, and then empty them into a Ziplock bag--GREAT idea!  I used this amazing pesto recipe, but I used peanuts instead of pine nuts because they are cheaper.  :)  It was a huge success and now I can throw a cube in regular pasta sauce to add flavor, or thaw some on the stove for pesto pasta or paninis!
