1
Prepare the ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic cloves, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
2
Toast the pine nuts
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for about 3-5 minutes until they are golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
3
Blend the basil and garlic
In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, and garlic cloves. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped.
4
Add cheese and oil
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the food processor. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5
Season the pesto
Add salt and black pepper to the mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, blending again to combine.
6
Store or serve
Transfer the pesto to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or used immediately as a sauce for pasta, spread on sandwiches, or a dip for vegetables.
