Equipment
- Measuring Equipment (Scale/Teaspoon/Cup)
- Bowl
- Food Processor/Mortar
Ingredients
- 40 Grams Fresh Basil Leaves, Packed (2 Cups)
- 33 Grams Pine Nuts (1/3 Cup)
- 37 Grams Freshly Grated Romano or Parmesan-Reggiano Cheese (1.3oz)
- 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced (3 Teaspoons)
- ½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Pulse the basil and pine nuts in a food processor.
- Add the garlic and Parmesan cheese and pulse several more times.
- While the food processor is running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady small stream. This will help it emulsify and help keep the olive oil from separating.
