Basil and Roasted Garlic Pesto

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut top 1/3 off of garlic head; peel away paper skin to thin layer or 2 surrounding the cloves.

Place in small ovenproof dish; drizzle top with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.

Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 70 minutes; allow to cool.

Squeeze garlic out of the paper skin into a small bowl; set aside.

Place half the basil in a blender; add 1/2 the extra virgin olive oil, garlic, parsley, pine nuts, salt, pepper, and the remaining basil, the other half of the oil, and pulse until blended.

Remove mixture to a bowl; add the parmesan and juice from lemon wedge and mix well.

Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
