Simple Basil Pesto

Instructions

Measure 2 cups fresh basil leaves by loosely packing them into a measuring cup. Place the leaves into a food processor or blender.

Add in 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, and 1/4 cup pine nuts. Blend until fairly smooth, or to your desired consistency. Some people like to leave it chunkier, while others prefer it smooth.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.
