Ingredients:

  • 1/3-1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 parmigiano-reggiano cheese (very expensive, but worth it)
  • 2 tbsp pignolis

Directions:

  1. Place basil, cheese and nuts in food processor or blender.
  2. Pulse a few times.
  3. Stream olive oil through feed tube until desired consistancy is achieved-I usually use a little more than a 1/4 cup of oil.
  4. Toss with hot cooked pasta or use as a spread.
