Preparation

Step 1

Mix basil, garlic, pine nuts, oil and salt in a blender. Process until smooth, adding a little more oil if needed to make blending easier. Transfer to a bowl and stir in grated cheese. Refrigerate in an airtight container, or spoon into ice cube trays and freeze for later use.

Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
