Preparation Steps

1. Toast the Pine Nuts

In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Blend the Ingredients

In a food processor, combine the toasted pine nuts, basil leaves, chopped jalapeños, garlic cloves, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until ingredients are finely chopped.

3. Add Olive Oil

While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

4. Season the Pesto

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Blend again to incorporate.

5. Store or Serve

Transfer the jalapeño pesto to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or served immediately with pasta, bread, or as a dip.
