A couple handfuls of:
Basil (cut the leaves from the stem and wash, toss out the stems)
Nuts (pine nuts are normally used, but I didn’t have any on hand today; so I used walnuts, you can also use almonds)
4-6 garlic cloves (you can add more or less depending on your love of garlic, we love garlic)
Juice of 1 lemon
6oz parmesan cheese (fresh or whatever you have in the cupboard will do)
1 cup olive oil
Pepper to taste
Salt (you can hold off on adding salt until the end the cheese is plenty salty and you may not need it)
Toss everything into a blender or food processor and blend until desired consistency. You may need to add a bit more olive oil, taste for salt and add if needed. Serve with your favorite bread or toss it with pasta, or grilled chicken. Enjoy!
