Pesto with Tomatoes


Ingredients:
3 medium cloves of garlic
2 handfuls of fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup 3 cheese blend: asiago, fontina, parmesan
4 tbsp olive oil
1 can peeled, crushed tomatoes
salt, italian seasoning

parmesan cheese for topping

1. Start chopping the garlic. Add about 1/3 of the basil and continue to chop it down. Add 1/3 of the basil, and again with the last 1/3. Start to add in the cheese and continue until all of the ingredients are mined together. Squish into a patty and put into a bowl. Cover with olive oil and put it in the fridge.

2. Boil the water and cook the pasta.

3. Heat the tomatoes for about 5 minutes, adding the salt and spices.

4. Combine pasta, pesto, and tomatoes (without liquid). Top with parmesan.
