Fresh Pesto

2 1/2 – 3 C basil leaves, gently packed
3/4 C fresh Parmesan cheese
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 C pinenuts, toasted
1/2-3/4C extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt (to taste)
a few cracks pepper

1 .Place the basil, Parmesan, garlic, pinenuts, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Give it a few pulses until things are chopped up.
2. Slowly pour in olive oil while processor is running until you reach the consistency you want.

If you don't eat it all right away, you can freeze it in ice cube trays and pull it out as needed for other recipes.
