Ingredients:
- 3 garlic cloves (more to taste...)

Directions:
- Finely dice basil leaves with a sharp knife or dice using food processor.
- Crush nuts either with knife or food processor.
- Repeat w/garlic and combine all ingredients.
- Pour olive oil/wine/liquid over the top and mix well.
- Serve over pasta, on top of bread, etc. Stores well in fridge with a layer of oil over it or in the freezer (usually how I store it, especially when I use wine in the recipe).
