==Ingredients==

* 1 bunch [[basil]] leaves
* 1/4-1/2 cup [[pine nuts]]
* 3-4 cloves of [[garlic]]
* [[extra virgin olive oil]]
* [[sea salt]] and [[pepper]]

==Directions==

On a dry pan over medium heat toast the pine nuts, shaking constantly until they brown. Be careful not to let them burn.

Combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor. While running the processor drizzle in olive oil until the mixture is smooth. If you're feeling old school you can do this step in a big [[mortar and pestle]].

[[Sundried tomatoes]] and [[parmasean cheese]] are common additions to this recipe.
