Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing the fresh parsley and patting it dry with a paper towel. Peel the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Blend the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the parsley, toasted pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.

  4. 4

    Add Olive Oil and Season

    With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and pulse to combine.

  5. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the pesto and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
