Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Pesto
- In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.
- With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the pesto is too thick, add more olive oil to reach desired consistency.
- Transfer the pesto to a bowl or jar and use immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Notes
Pesto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To prevent browning, drizzle a thin layer of olive oil on top before sealing.
