      2/3   c            Packed stemmed fresh parsley
      1/4   c            Pine nuts
    1       tb           Ground dried thyme
    1       tb           Grated lemon peel
    1       tb           Fresh lemon juice
      1/4   c            Olive oil (or more)
 
   In processor, blend first 5 ingredients until almost

   oil and process until smooth. If pesto is dry, mix in
   more oil by spoonfuls.  Season to taste with salt and
   pepper. (Can be made ahead.  Press plastic wrap onto
   surface of pesto. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days
   or freeze up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature
