Artichoke pesto

This is a delicious spin on an Italian classic. Use the spread over roasted vegetables, as a baked potato topping, or on crackers. Of course, you can also use it as a sauce for pasta or rice. It comes together in just 10 minutes and makes enough to serve 6. Simply combine all the ingredients, which include canned artichoke hearts, toasted pine nuts, basil, Parmesan, water, garlic, and a touch of salt, in a food processor until everything is finely chopped. That's it! And the best part is you can make this pesto ahead of time. Simply refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
