Step 1

Add the basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, black pepper, and salt to a food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds to break up the garlic and pine nuts.

Step 2

Turn the food processor back on and pour in the oil in a steady stream – which should take about 10 seconds.

Step 3

Check for consistency – if you like it a little chunky, it’s ready to go. If you like it smoother, whizz for another 10-20 seconds until the texture is to your liking.

Step 4

Taste the pesto and add in more salt if needed. I usually add in approx. ½ tsp lightly crushed Maldon salt.
