Project: Pesto

My ideal pasta is not tomato marinara or alfredo, but pesto. I like pesto. I really do.
So today I decided to try making it, my sauce.

Pesto
3 cloves of minced garlic
2 cups of fresh basil
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
Dash of salt & pepper
Parmesan cheese, to taste
and since I didn't have pine nuts, I substituted in 1/3 cup of almonds.

Turns out, I didn't ground the almond as finely as I should have, but I kind of enjoyed the rough texture. :D

Can I call it a success? haha.
I think my stomach approves.
