Zucchini Pesto

Two posts in one day! This is a surprise recipe from making supper tonight.  I am trying to use all my garden produce. But sauteed Zucchini gets old. We are having pasta tonight and I wanted to add Zucchini. I knew if I put it in coins, the boys would eat around them. I decided to try a pesto.
I think this is a really tasty pesto or a dip for crackers. I have been snacking on it as I cook the rest of the meal! Please note, I cook a lot by taste so there isn't a lot of exact measurements:)

Zucchini Pesto

1 m size zucchini

handful of basil

3 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (the stuff from the green can)

handful of pine nuts

olive oil

salt and pepper

Blend the Zucchini in a food processor.

Add the basil, garlic,pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. Blend until paste consistency.

While blender is running, drizzle Olive Oil until it looks like pesto. (How else do I describe this?).

Add salt to taste and 5 or 6 grinds of a pepper mill to the pesto. Pulse to mix.

Serve over warm pasta or with crackers/ chips.

I am also going to add some halved cherry tomatoes.  I have lots of those right now so I am also trying to find creative ways to use those.
