Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil (for a lower fat version replace half the oil with soy milk)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh basil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 -5 garlic cloves

Directions:

  1. Combine all the ingredients except the cloves of garlic into a food processor until everything is ground. I personally like it smoother than normal so I let the food processor run for a bit longer.
  2. Combine in the cloves of garlic one at a time and keep doing taste tests until you feel there is enough (be careful not to chop your finger off with the food processor - it really kills the pesto).
  3. Add more salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
