Ingredients
2 cup fresh packed basil leaves      View Available Products
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup pecans      View Available Products
1/3 TO 2/3 cup extra virgin tasting olive oil - divided*
salt to taste
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Step by Step Instructions
  1. *RECIPE CALLS FOR 2/3 CUP OF OLIVE OIL SOME REVIEWS SAID NEEDED TO USE LESS OIL. SO I SUGGEST STARTING WITH 1/3 CUP AND WORKING UP. Combine the basil, garlic, and pecans in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add 1/2 of the oil and process until fully incorporated and smooth. Season with salt. If using immediately, add all the remaining oil and pulse until smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large serving bowl and mix in the cheese. If freezing, transfer to an air-tight container and drizzle remaining oil over the top. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and stir in cheese.
