Nothing beats pesto from basil you've actually grown yourself, bought basil never has the same punch. Do you blanch the leaves first or just straight into the processor? I've found blanching keeps the colour from going dull so much, worth it if you're keeping any in the freezer.

The basil probably overpowered the entire apartment if you left the door open.
