I have a mass of basil that I've cultivated and already I've made a mountain of pesto. Any good basil recipes out there?

welcome to this site , here you can find many interesting topics related to health and others . here some example
Fresh basil is one of our favorite parts of summer. It's herbal, refreshing and remarkably versatile. It can liven up a pasta sauce or salad, even a cocktail or dessert.

This recipe certainly won't use up all of your basil, but it's the best one that came to my mind. I love it.

You can freeze your pesto in ice cube trays, then put the cubes in ziplock bags. It will keep nicely for a while, and you can just dethaw serving sizes as you need them.

You could do it like they do in Maine.
Take your extra (tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, whatever) and put it on a table in the front yard.
Then put a sign that says 50 cents a bunch, honor system.
I bet it will disappear and you might even get paid for some of it. :)

Ha! They do that down here with coconuts. No one gets any money though because they're lying on the side of the road everywhere.

I had a Basil Brulee once. Yes. Like a Creme Brulee, but with basil. It was the most wonderful shade of green and it was delicious!
I looked for a recipe on the web, but...

Care to share your pesto recipe?
2 cups packed fresh basil
2 garlic cloves (more if you like it really arlicy)
1/2 cup walnuts (I use chopped awlnuts rather than whole)
1 1/4 cups evoo
1/2 cup grated Parmesean
1/2 cup pecorino or Romano
3/4 tsp. salt (or to taste)
Process basil, walnuts, and garlic in a food processor or blender and process for 1 seconds. With machine still on, add oil in a steady stream until almost 1 cup of oil has been used. With machine still running, add Parmesean and pecorino/ROmano, and he remaining oil. Taste and season with salt (if needed).
You can use pine nuts instead of walnuts, or even a combination of the two. A few sundried tomatoes (packed in oil) make it nice and colorful and add a bit more richness to the sauce.
