Parsley, olive oil, pecans and garlic. I enjoyed toasting the garlic on top of my new gas range until it was brown and soft. Be careful as two of the cloves burst open with a splatter. Don't be over generous with the parsley and pecans as I was, as the amounts listed keep those ingredients from over powering. It was too bitter, but with a small amount of fresh lemon juice tasted rich and balanced. I used it to flavor the cooked acorn squash halves before adding other components. The rest of the parsley pesto we will have over angel hair and gluten-free ramen noodle pastas. Making this pesto was a fun way to help use up a surprise ingredient of parsley in our Fruit/Vegetable box, and also give a different flavor to winter squash.
