Basil Pesto

Basil Pesto 

3 cups fresh basil, freshly packed 
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 
1 cup pine nuts, toasted 
4 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp pepper 
Pinch red pepper flakes 

Add basil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to a blender. Blend continuously or use the pulse setting until the ingrediants start to break down. 

Stream in the olive oil and allow ingrediants to emulsify. Continue processing until the oil is combined with all ingrediants. Add more seasoning to taste. 

Store in fridge for a week or freeze for use later.
