Pesto Sauce (Cajsa)

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts or blanched almonds
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves
6 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in blender or food processor.

This goes really well over spaghetti noodles. Cube some chicken and cook it with chopped onions and 1 garlic clove minced. Just pour the pesto sauce over the spaghetti and chicken, then stir.

Or you could make a good chicken pesto sandwich with it by cubing the chicken and cooking it with a diced green pepper and onions. Toast the bread and make a sandwich with the sauce and chicken garnished with tomatoes and lettuce.
