Sage Pesto

    •    1 cup pine nuts  (I used raw cashews as I didn't have pine nuts on hand)
    •    1 1/2 cups fresh sage leaves, firmly packed
    •    1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
    •    1/2 cup olive oil
    •    1/4 cup garlic chopped
    •    1 teaspoon salt
    •    1 lemon, juiced
    •    1 tablespoon fresh, mild goat cheese, optional
Toast pine nuts in a dry saute pan or in a 350 degree F oven on a sheet pan. Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender and process until smooth.
