Ingredients
  • 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1½ tablespoons of lemon juice
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup pine nuts, OPTIONAL! ;)
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, add your basil leaves, minced garlic, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
  2. Pulse the ingredients until they are chopped up to almost smooth.
  3. At this point, with the processor running, drizzle in the oil until you reach the consistently you desire. If you want a thick pesto = less oil. Thinner/runner pesto = more oil.
  4. Remove the blade carefully from the processor, stir your pesto with a spoon.
  5. Now the choice is yours on where to use this, cold or hot, this pesto is simply the best! ENJOY!
