Strawberry Pesto Recipe

I'm a sucker for pesto, and I love strawberry-basil sorbet. So why not strawberry-basil pesto? Er. Maybe. I was slightly skeptical to make this (but figured if I screwed it up, I could just add more and more basil and cheese to mask the strawberry flavor), but I'm so glad I did. The strawberries offer just a hint of sweetness to cut through the garlicky pesto, so you can still serve it with what you would for regular pesto (or just eat it with a fork as I may or may not have done... ). My roommate and I used this as a spread on toasted prosciutto-and-tomato sandwiches and a dipping sauce for sweet potato fries. But tightly seal the leftovers in the fridge, and you can still enjoy it the next night as I did with whole-wheat pasta with fresh tomatoes, onion, and pancetta.
