Instructions

Toast the pine nuts in a pan over very low heat until golden, then let them cool.
Put the basil, garlic, toasted pine nuts, lemon juice and salt into a food processor.
Grate in the parmesan (or nutritional yeast for vegan) and pour in the olive oil.
Pulse until blended and chopped but still with some texture; do not over-blend. A mortar and pestle also works.
Serve, make pesto pasta, or store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
