Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 60 g fresh basil leaves (to taste)
  • 35 g pine nuts (lightly toasted)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 30 g extra virgin olive oil
  • 25 g Parmesan cheese (freshly grated*)
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • water (as needed)

Instruction

  • Lightly toast pine nuts until golden in a dry skillet or pan over medium heat. Remove from pan and allow to cool. 
  • In a food processor or blender, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese and process for a couple of minutes until a paste forms. Do not over-process into a puree, as we want to retain some texture. Season to taste. Depending on the use you're giving it, you may need to thin it out with a tablespoon or so of water.
