METHOD:
1. Combine the basil with the nuts, pulse
a few times in a food processor. (If you
are using walnuts instead of pine nuts
and if they are not already chopped,
pulse them a few times first, before
adding the basil.) Add the garlic. Pulse
a few times more.
2. Slowly add the olive oil in a constant
stream while food processor is on.
Stop to scrape down the sides of the
food processor with a rubber spatula.
Add the grated cheese and pulse again
until blended. Add a pinch of salt and
freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Store pesto in a jar or airtight container in
the refrigerator for about a week, or in the
freezer for about six months
