Grilled Squash Pesto

Fantastic on pizza or pasta. Put extra squash to good use with this easy recipe.

Ingredients:
1 lb squash
1/4 C fresh basil leaves
1/2 of a medium onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
1 Tbs olive oil
Freshly ground pepper

Grill squash on the grill, about 5 min per side or until the skin begins to darken all over. If you choose to broil, dice squash into 1" cubes and cook for 12-15 min.
Slice onion and heat olive oil in sauce pan. Add onions and saute on low until they turn translucent. Let cool then add onions, garlic, basil and cooked squash to food processor and blend until smooth. Return to sauce pan, add salt and pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 5 min. Use hot over pasta or let cool and use on pizza dough.
