    4. Basil Puree - Top

    “Since cheese is usually included on pizza, I drizzle this puree instead of pesto over the pizza when it comes out of the oven.”

    Try this sauce on top of Grilled Zucchini Pizza (http://www.greensgrow.org/recipes/4.69.html) or over your favorite pizza combination. You can also use this as the starting point for a simple summer pasta with summer squash or arugula and bunching onions.

    Makes about ¾ cup

    3 cloves garlic
    ½ cup olive oil
    2 cups basil leaves
    ½ tsp. salt

    Pulverize the garlic with the oil in a blender, then add the basil by handfuls, followed by the salt. Puree until smooth. The mixture should be thin enough that you can easily spread it over the dough or drizzle it over the top.
