Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Cutting board, 1 Measuring cups, 1 Immersion blender, 1 deep bowl, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Glass
Preparation steps
1.
Place chopped basil and pine nuts into a food processor. Add about 1/3 of the olive oil and puree until smooth. Stir in the remaining oil, grated cheese, garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
