--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       c            Fresh basil leaves -
                        -loosely packed
     1/4   c            Onions - chopped
   2       tb           Garlic - chopped
     1/2   lb           Butter - softened
   1       c            Olive oil
     1/2   c            Parmesan cheese - grated
     1/4   c            Pine nuts - toasted
   1       t            Salt
     1/4   ts           White pepper

    1.  Pick through basil and remove large stems and
  bad leaves.  Chop
        basil fine in food processor.  Add onions and
  garlic to the processor
        bowl and puree.  Set aside in a large bowl.
    2.  Put one stick of butter into the processor and
  give it a whirl.
        Add half the olive oil, followed by another
  stick of butter, followed
        by the other half of the olive oil, blending
  well as you go until you
        have a thick liquid.
    3.  Pour butter-oil mixture into the bowl with the
  basil puree.  Add
        Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.  Stir well
  until completely blended.
    NOTE: When making pasta with pesto, put hot cooked
  pasta into a
    skillet over medium heat.  Spoon four tablespoons of
  pesto sauce over
    the pasta and, with a kitchen fork, toss and blend
  with the pasta. The
    sauce will break if you put it into the skillet
  first - always stif
    the sauce into the pasta rather than vice-versa.
    Makes 3 cups - enough for 12 servings.
    Chef Andrea Apuzzo says, "Pesto sauce - green and
  aromatic - is a
    rich, herbal concoction which has seemingly endless
  uses.  Once you
    make it, you will find yourself putting it not only
  in pasta (the
    classic pesto employment), but also in soups, on top
  of chicken, with
    fish, and lots of other things.  We make a pesto
  butter sauce - not
    really traditional, but most delicious.
