Ингредиенты
- 4 c fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 c pine nuts
- 1 clove of garlic (if you prefer a stronger garlic taste, add another one)
- 1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Инструкции
- Put the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, and parmesan cheese into the food processor and blend.
- Slowly add the olive oil to the mixture while it is blending. (Be sure to do this slowly because you don't want too much olive oil).
- Once it is all blended, add salt and pepper to taste, and then blend one final time.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, spread it on a sandwich...the possibilities are endless!
- Storing instructions: Keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. After each use, you might want to add a little bit of olive oil to keep its consistency.
