Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 c packed fresh basil
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • ½ t salt
  • ¼ c pine nuts
  • ½ c extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 T unsalted softened butter
  • ⅓ c fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Combine basil and garlic cloves until finely chopped: (I use my food processor for this) Then add salt, and pine nuts. Again, combine until finely chopped
  2. Keep blade on then slowly add the extra virgin olive oil (mild flavor).
  3. Remove from food processor or blender place in bowl and fold in softened butter and fresh grated Parmesan.
Notes
I usually make more than I need and put extra in an ice cube tray in the freezer. Then I can pop out individual portions, warm it up a little and have instant homemade pesto!
