ingredients
directions
Whirl the basil, garlic, nuts, parmesan cheese, and salt (about 1/2 tsp.) in a food processor until well mixed. Then add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until a smooth paste is formed. Pack into glass jars and cover the sauce with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent it from discoloring. |
