Diets
2 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves, washed well
1 – 2 cloves garlic, depending on your personal taste
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted and cooled
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt, if needed
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts. Pulse until coarsely chopped—this step should not take long. Add cheese and pulse one or two times to mix.
With the machine running, slowly add the oil and process until it is fully incorporated and smooth. Start with half a cup and only add more if needed. Scrape down the sides once or twice during this process.
Remove to a container and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
