Pesto Sauce from WW

2 tbsp pine nuts 2 cup(s) basil, leaves, fresh 1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese 1 tbsp olive oil 2 medium garlic clove(s), peeled 1/2 tsp table salt Instructions Place pine nuts in a small skillet and set pan over medium heat. Cook until nuts are golden, shaking pan frequently to prevent burning, about 3 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate to cool. In a blender or food processor, combine nuts, basil, broth, cheese, oil, garlic and salt; process until smooth and thick. Yields about 1/4 cup per serving. Points value of 2 per serving!
