Sun-dried Tomato And Walnut Pesto

You can use this pesto as a dip or spread, you can stir it into soups to add richness and flavor, and of course you can serve it with pasta.

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

1 large clove garlic - roughly chopped
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons water
6 sun-dried tomatoes - roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
