Directions:
- For pesto, combine the basil, oil, garlic, cheese, pine nuts, salt and pepper, and beat with mortar and pestle. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Alternately, for quick and easy pesto, combine in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped.
- The consistency of the pesto may be adjusted by adding a small amount of warm water to thin the pesto, or adding a small amount of cheese to thicken.
