By request, a couple of Jacopo's recipes are being posted for posterity. That way you know who to blame when they're secretly poison.
First, pesto:
Jacopo It's easy as hell. Just cram 1 cup of basil, 1 cup of olive oil, and 4 cloves of garlic into a blender.
Note from Kate: That's right. No pine nuts. That's how Sicilians do it; we save the pine nuts for throwing at ungrateful children. Also he recommends a magic bullet blender for that, if you need to know. Freeze whatever you don't use.Then, pizza:

19:04 Jacopo Well, that's good too.
Or, if you don't like that format because you're a slacker like me, Get tomatoes (cherry are highly recommended; use at least 10 cherry tomatoes for every pizza), add olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper (if you like spicy), one clove of garlic, basil, parsley and oregano. Blend. Spread over StoneFire naan bread. Grate a generous amount of fresh mozzerella over it, add toppings, and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
See guys? It's not all dick jokes, all the time. Just mostly.
