HOMEMADE PESTO WITH SAUSAGE, CASHEWS & SCALLIONS

STEP ONE: COOK SAUSAGE
I BAKED MINE AT 400 DEGREES UNTIL COOKED THROUGH. LET COOL AND SLICE ON A DIAGONAL

STEP TWO: MAKE PESTO
In a food processor, chop 2 cups basil and 6 garlic cloves. Stream in 3/4c. olive oil. Add 1c. parmesan cheese and 2 ounces pine nuts. ADD 1 TSP SALT AND SOME FRESH PEPPER!

STEP THREE:
COOK PASTA OF YOUR CHOICE (I USED GF SPAGHETTI)-POUR PESTO ON THE HOT PESTO AND TOSS TO COAT.

STEP FOUR: FINAL TOUCHES
ADD SAUSAGE TO THE PASTA AND TOP WITH CASHEWS AND CHOPPED SCALLIONS!
