Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a small skillet brush with olive oil and heat. Add the pine nuts and toast over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • In a food processor or blender, grind or chop the toasted pine nuts, basil, garlic, and salt until it forms a paste
  • Transfer to a high bowl
  • Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice, beating the mixture all the while with a wooden spoon. If you want an easier method you can slowly add the olive oil and lemon juice into the food processor or blender.
  • The pesto can be stored in jars, topped with extra-virgin olive oil, for several weeks.
