2. Homemade Basil Pesto - place the following into a small food processor and whizz until combined. You could also use a mortar and pestle. 2 cups (packed) fresh basil leaves1 garlic clove1/4 cup pine nuts (preferably toasted) (or cashews, Brazil nuts, walnuts or almonds), 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or Pecorino)1/4 tsp salt and pepper (plus more to taste)1/2 tbsp - 1 tbsp lemon juice (to taste)
