Recipe - Broccoli Pesto

I am on a huge broccoli kick right now but I am getting seriously sick of stir-fry. I was stoked when I came across a recipe for Broccoli Pesto in the Happy Herbivore cookbook. Unfortunately the recipe isn't on her website and so I can't give it to you exactly, you will have to buy the book for that but I can give you my variation on it.

Pesto Broccoli -
2 Heads cooked broccoli
.25 cup silken tofu
appox 1 cup basil leaves
1 large clove garlic
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Sea Salt and Pepper

After you cook the broccoli, blend all the ingredients until smooth. Then toss with freshly cooked pasta. I really like whole grain pasta with this because it adds a nutty flavor. Also instead of silken tofu, an avocado might be tasty.
