Pasta Pesto sauce

By barbsjustagirl

If you really love the stuff and plan to use it often, make a double batch -- it'll be easier to blend that way!

• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
• 2 tbsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
• 2 tbsp. pine nuts
• 1 tsp. olive oil
