Basil Pesto Recipe
This restaurant-quality basil pesto features toasted pine nuts for deeper flavor, fresh basil leaves, premium Parmesan cheese, and fruity olive oil. The key to its vibrant color and silky texture is toasting the nuts until golden, then cooling them completely before blending to prevent the basil from wilting.
