Ingredients

• Tbsp pine nuts
• 2 cup(s) basil, leaves, fresh
• 1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), peeled
• 1/2 tsp table salt

Preparation

Step 1

Place pine nuts in a small skillet and set pan over medium heat. Cook until nuts are golden, shaking pan frequently to prevent burning, about 3 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate to cool.


In a blender or food processor, combine nuts, basil, broth, cheese, oil, garlic and salt; process until smooth and thick. Yields about 1/4 cup per serving.
