Making pesto is a great and delicious way to make use of the overabundant basil in your garden. But if you don’t have a garden, you can still enjoy pesto. Fresh basil is readily available in most supermarkets and produce stands. Some of the guys at the firehouse love this and some, like Lieutenant Kevin Kennedy, don’t want to touch it because they hate anything that’s green.
