Basic pesto

Yield: 1 servings

Measure Ingredient
1 cup Fresh basil
¼ cup Pine nuts
3 \N Garlic cloves
½ cup Olive oil (or as needed)
3 tablespoons Heavy cream

In a blender place the basil, pine nuts, and garlic. Puree them so that they are smooth. With the blender running on low, slowly dribble in enough of the olive oil until a pureed consistency is achieved (do not add too much oil). Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and stir them in.
