Watercress Pesto is perfecto!

Watercress makes a perfect substitute (or improvement) for basil in a traditional pesto recipe.
Ingredients:


A great bunch of B&W Watercress
about 1/2 C shredded parmesan
about 1/4 C pine nuts
olive oil to blend, about 1/4 C
You can easily adjust the quantities of these ingredients to your personal taste.


Blend all ingredients until it becomes a paste-like texture.

You can use on pasta, like traditional pesto, or on vegetables, like I did.
Zucchini and mushrooms.




Cook at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, serve.


Enjoy!
