Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

¼ cup pine nuts

¼ cup almonds

3 cloves garlic

4 cups loosely packed fresh basil

1 ¼ cups olive oil, or more as needed

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Pulse pine nuts, almonds, and garlic in a food processor for about 20 seconds. Add basil, 1 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend for about 1 minute. Add additional olive oil until desired consistency is reached.

Cook's Note:

Variations: Use only one kind of nut or mix several. If I don't have pine nuts, I use walnuts and it still tastes fabulous! Don't have quite enough basil? Add some other fresh greens like parsley or cilantro (as long as the majority is basil). Get creative! Add a small handful of sun-dried tomatoes to the mix, yum! Add a 1/2 cup of your favorite cheese.
