Ingredients:

  • 2 cups basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4-1/3 cup water

Directions:

  1. Put the first four ingredients in a food processor.
  2. Process for 15-20 seconds.
  3. Add the olive oil in a stream.
  4. Blend/pulse until desired consistency leaving some texture (don't make it paste-smooth).
  5. Add water gradually as needed.
  6. Serve over pasta, chicken, etc.
  7. You can freeze it in meal-serving containers or individual ice cube-sized blocks. If you need to thin it at any time, use water, NOT more oil.
