Try this one from the "I could Eat Pasta Every Night " Cookbook
In a food processor or blender, process basil, olive oil, pine nuts,
garlic, and Parmesan cheese until just smooth, leaving some texture. Season
to taste with salt and pepper. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 1
week.
Note: Omit the Parmesan cheese and pine nuts if you plan to freeze the
pesto before using. Add the cheese and nuts after the pesto has thawed and
use immediately for up to 1 week. Variations: For a lower fat version,
reduce oil to 2 tablespoons, and add 3 tablespoons chicken broth and 2
tablespoons part-skim ricotta cheese.
Pesto with vegetables: Cut 2 medium red potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Steam
potatoes and 4 ounces tender green beans until crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes.
Toss with hot pasta and pesto.
