Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups fresh basil (loosely packed)
  • 1 clove garlic (smashed and peeled)
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts (toasted)
  • 6 oz parmigiano reggiano cheese (cut into chunks)
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (give or take a few tablespoons)

Instruction

  • Add pine nuts to a dry pan and toast on medium heat occasionally "shaking" pan until nuts are toasty brown. Be careful not to burn as this can happen very quickly.
  • Place all ingredients, except olive oil into a blender or food processor.
  • Turn blender on and slowly stream in olive oil until ingredients turn into a thick paste or sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Use as desired or spoon into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
