Instructions

1. Lightly toast pine nuts until golden in a dry skillet or pan over medium heat.
2. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
3. In a food processor or blender, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese and process for a couple of minutes until a paste forms.
