Ingredients

2 cups fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
3 whole cloves garlic
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts*


Instructions

1 00:00:19 - Measure the fresh basil leaves by loosely packing them into a measuring cup. Place the leaves into a food processor or blender.

2 00:00:27 - Add in garlic, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and pine nuts. Blend until fairly smooth.

3 00:01:23 - Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

*Notes:
Pine nuts can be very expensive so it is common for people to seek out a substitution for pine nuts when making pesto. Sunflower seeds are one of the most inexpensive substitution options. You can also use walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
