When Life Hands You Parsley = Italian Parsley Pesto

1 big bunch of fresh Italian parsley
2 BIG cloves of garlic - almost 1oz.
2oz. chopped walnuts
1oz. pistachios
1oz. almonds
1t Everything Bagel Seasoning
1/2t Penzey's Smokey salt
1/2t Smoked Garlic Chipotle seasoning
3/4c good quality EVOO
3oz. strong, hard, flavorful cheese

My neighbors received the parsley in their Farm CSA box, but didn't have any plans for it. I didn't either until this morning when I realized how many great nuts I have right now!

Combine everything well, using a big mortar and pestle, food processor, or immersion blender. This made 3 cups that you can store in an airtight glass container for up to a week in the 'fridge, or freeze in small containers. This is great as a base for creamy salad dressing, on a chicken-artichoke pizza, or on your favorite pasta as a main course or side dish. What other ways can you think of to add it into a recipe?
