Fresh Basil Pesto!

So amazing with all the basil I had from my garden! Felt light and fresh - great way to switch up my typical chicken!

• 2 packed cups of fresh basil leaves
• 2-3 cloves of garlic (peeled)
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese

What you need to do:

1. Combine basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
2. Add 1/2 cup of the oil and process until smooth.
3. Season with salt and pepper
4. Add the remaining oil and pulse.
5. Transfer into a serving dish and add cheese.
6. Mix well.
7. Enjoy!
