Perfect Pesto
Perfect Pesto
Yield:
3/4 cup
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Pine Nuts
- 2 Garlic Cloves, chopped
- 2 cups Basil, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt, + more to taste
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Parmesan
Instructions

Next, in a (mini, if you have one) food processer, combine pine nuts, basil, and garlic and pulse until mostly pureed.
Add parmesan, lemon juice, and olive oil and continue to puree, adding a tsp of water if you like a slightly looser consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
