Steps
- 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice French loaf into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and brush (or spray, if you have one of those nifty Misto things) with olive oil.
- 2Place slices on baking sheet and toast in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until edges are a deep golden brown.
- 3Remove from oven and set aside.
- 4While those are in the oven, make your pesto. In a food processor, combine basil leaves, garlic clove, pine nuts and Romano cheese. Pulse until pesto is coarse in texture, like coarse sand.
- 5Add in olive oil and process until fully incorporated. Taste.
- 6Add salt and pepper, if needed. Scrape pesto into a serving bowl or dish and set aside. (You should have about 3/4 cup.)
