• 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. shredded Parmesan cheese

• 1 clove garlic
• 1 Tbsp. pine nuts
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions:

• Place all ingredients except basil in blender, food processor, or small chopper/grinder.
• Pureed until paste is formed. Make sure you add basil last, or after you have made a paste to prevent discoloration or darkening of the basil.

Makes ~8 Tbsp.

Use to:

• increase flavor of any pasta dish, lentil or vegetable soup
• as a base on pizza dough
• on baked potatoes instead of butter.
