Your recipe sounds good. Here is a Pesto recipe we use on the trail:

Prior to leaving home, add the following to a zip lok bag:
Dried home grown basil
Dried home grown parsley
Pine nuts
Lots of powdered home grown garlic


In the morning (on the trail):
Combine the contents a zip lok bag w/ fresh grated parmesan cheese and olive oil.

Serve a couple of ways:
1. Spread on crackers at lunch
2. Add angel hair pasta to boiling water, 2 minute later, drain off water, stir in pesto. Delicious.

Oh, my! I sure like the idea of the sun dried tomatoes. I think I am going to try that!
