Basil Pesto

Yield: 2 cups

1. Put basil, pine nuts, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fairly smooth.
2. Pour 3/4 of the olive oil into running food processor in a steady stream until the mixture is thick but liquid.
3. Add grated parmesan and continue to process. Adjust to desired consistency with the remaining oil. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary. Use immediately or cover with a thin layer of olive oil and store in the refrigerator.
