I made it. Easy. Makes a cup and it went right into tonight’s dinner of creamy chicken and pesto pasta. Can’t wait for my basil plant to give another batch.

In reply to Laurel. You don't even need to use pine nuts, or any nuts! Just use more Parmesan. It needs to be good parmesan from a block. Chop it into small pieces and then add to food processor.

In reply to Sarah. If you Blanche the basil, it will stay bright green until you eat it all up!

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah, you could use pepitas or pistachios instead of pine nuts to make it brighter. It has the best color right after it's made.
