Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth.
    2 cups basil, 3 tablespoons pine nuts, 1 tablespoon olive oil , 2 tablespoon water, 2 cloves garlic , ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt, 10 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Notes

To Store: Store in an airtight container for up to five days in the refrigerator.  
To Freeze: Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Remember to fill the container only halfway, as the sauce has enough liquid in it. It will likely expand in the freezing process.
