| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1½ cup | Basil leaves -- fresh |
| 2 | Garlic cloves -- peeled |
| (may be up to 5 cloves) * | |
| ¼ cup | Pine nuts |
| ¼ cup | Parmesan cheese -- fresh |
| Grate | |
| ¼ cup | Lemon juice -- fresh |
| Squeezed |
Put the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese in a blender or food processor. Turn the machine on and drizzle in the lemon juice.
Continue to puree until a smooth paste isformed.
* The amount of garlic you use is a matter of personal taste. Also, some garlic is more pungent. So start perhaps with 2 medium cloves, then taste, and add more if, as I do, you like a strong, garlicky flavor.
