Author:
Recipe type: Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh basil (use a measuring cup and really pack it down)
  • ⅓ cup pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp. minced garlic
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (I used and Italian blend)
  • Freshly ground salt & pepper
Instructions
  1. In a food processor combine basil and pine nuts and pulse a few times.
  2. Add garlic and pulse a few times more.
  3. Turn food processor on and gradually add the olive oil in a constant stream as it works to process and blend; once fully added, stop and scrape the sides before continuing.
  4. Add grated cheese and once again pulse until well blended.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer from food processor to a bowl, stir and use as desired.
  7. Store remaining pesto in fridge for future use.
