Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Pine nuts
  • 2 cup Fresh basil leaves
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 3 tsp. Minced garlic
  • ½ - 1 cup Olive oil as needed
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a food processor, and blend until completely combined and smooth. Start with just a half cup of the olive oil.
  • If the sauce is thicker than you would like, drizzle in a bit more olive oil until you reach the consistency you desire.
  • Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
