Ingredients:
4 cup Coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 cup Unhulled raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup Olive oil
1 cup Fresly grated Parmesan
2 tbsp Sweet butter, softened
2 cl Garlic, crushed
Instructions:
In a blender in batches or in a food processor puree the basil with
the sunflower seeds, the oil, the Parmesan, the butter, the garlic,
and salt to taste. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and lay plastic
wrap directly on the surface to prevent discoloration. The pesto
keeps, covered and chilled, for 2 weeks. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

To use the pesto: For every pound of dried pasta cooking in a keeple
of boiling salted water, stir together in a heated serving bowl 3/4
cup pesto and 2/3 cup hot pasta cooking water. When the pasta is al
dente, drain it in a colander, add it to the pesto mixture, and toss
the mixture with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
