Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups basil leaves washed and patted dry
  • 1/3-1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, raw or toasted, your preference
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • salt and pepper (optional, usually just the parmesan will be salty enough)

Instructions
 

  • Place the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic and olive oil into the food processor. Grind until chopped, about 3-5 pulses. You may need to use a spatula to scrape down the walls halfway through. Add the parmesan, pulse 2-3 more times until the pesto is your desired consistency.
