Preparation

Step 1

Combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the oil slowly and process until fully incorporated and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the cheese.

If freezing, transfer to an air-tight container and drizzle oil over the top. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and stir in cheese.

Spread on French bread slices or serve on hot pasta.
