Preparation

  1. In a food processor, blend together fresh basil leaves and the pine nuts, pulsing several times until well-chopped and combined. Then, add parmesan cheese and garlic and pulse until well-combined.
  2. Slowly stream in the olive oil while pulsing to keep the olive oil from separating.
  3. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve over pasta or refrigerate in a sealed container.
