Instructions

1. Toast the pine nuts in a pan over very low heat until golden, then let them cool.
2. Put the basil, garlic, toasted pine nuts, lemon juice and salt into a food processor.
3. Grate in the Parmesan and drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil.
4. Pulse in the food processor or blender until blended and chopped but still with some texture; do not over-blend. A mortar and pestle also works.
5. Serve as you like, make pesto pasta, or store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
