Basil Pesto With A Twist

1. 1

   Toss the garlic cloves (with skin on) into the toaster oven and roast at about 400 degrees for about 8 minutes until brown. Chop it up real small-like.

2. 2

   Combine the basil with the pine nuts and pulse a few times in a food processor. Add the garlic, pulse a few times more.

3. 3

   Slowly add the olive oil a teeny bit at a time or in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula.

4. 4

   Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended. Add the wine and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Warm in a pan or microwave to serve over pasta.
