Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch fresh basil (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional as needed
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the basil, Parmesan, pine nuts and garlic to a food processor. Pulse a few times to break up the garlic and nuts. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and pulse a few more times, scraping down the sides as needed. With the motor running, stream in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and the lemon juice until a thick paste forms. Add salt and pepper to taste and pulse a few more times to combine.
  • Remove and store, refrigerated in an airtight container, for up to 2 days (with a thin layer of olive oil drizzled on top so that it does not turn brown).
