Ingredients:

2 cups basil fresh
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced

Directions:
Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet for 2 to 3 minutes, watching them carefully as they have a tendency to burn easily.

Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend everything together, pulsing in 5 to 10-second bursts. Continue blending until the texture is pretty smooth. If you find that the pesto is too dry and are having trouble blending it add a couple tbsp of water, or a bit more olive oil.

Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
