Directions:
- Place basil, pine nuts and garlic in food processor and pulse a few times until chopped.
- While processor is running, stream in olive oil until mixture turns light green and smooth.
- Add parmesan and process.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lemon juice into pesto and if you are adding pinch of sugar do so now.
- Process until you reach desired consistency. The longer you process, the smoother it gets. If you want it to have texture, process less.
