Pick as fresh basil as you can find. Works really well if you use a mix of different basils (I’ve used mixtures of sweet, Thai, purple u0026 spicy and they all work well). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_basil_cultivars

Wash it well.

Place in food processor (to make this large a batch I fill my 8 cup processor about 3/4 of the way with slightly compressed leaves)

Add all other ingredients, except olive oil

Pulse, adding olive oil to get mixture to mix properly, stop u0026 scrape outside of bowl at least once.

Can pulse to either chunky or smooth depending on how large you want your pine nuts to be
