Steps:
- Pick the leaves off of the stems. Discard any flower buds, stems or leaves that aren't in good shape. All we want are leaves; small, medium or large; as long as they are a healthy green, not brown or molding!
- Wash the basil. Just wash them in a large bowl under cold water, no soap!
- Chop the pine nuts and garlic in the food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender.
- Add the basil leaves, lemon, and olive oil and chop. Stuff the basil leaves (in small batches) into the food processor and chop them into the garlic, olive oil and pine nuts.
- Chop the mix until it forms a thick, smooth paste.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the food processor and blend! IMPORTANT NOTE: if you intend to freeze the pesto, leave the cheese OUT and add it when you thaw and use the pesto.
- Add 1 teaspoon of sugar or Splenda to the batch to bring the flavor alive. (Optional).
- The pesto will keep in refrigerator for about a week, or you can freeze it and it will last for 3 to 6 months.
- Serving? Most people serve it over pasta or use it to season fish and chicken dishes.

Steps:
- Combine the basil in with the pine nuts, pulse a few times in a food processor. (If you are using walnuts instead of pine nuts and they are not already chopped, pulse them a few times first, before adding the basil.) Add the garlic, pulse a few times more.
- Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Makes 1 cup.
- Serve with pasta, or over baked potatoes, or spread over toasted baguette slices.
