Ingredients

  • ¼ cup toasted almonds
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 ½ cups fresh basil leaves
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • You may rapidly toast almonds in the oven or on the stove if they aren't already done. On the stovetop, put the nuts in a dry skillet and heat for 4 to 5 minutes at medium heat. When using the oven, warm it to 350°F and roast the nuts for 7 to 8 minutes on a baking sheet.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic cloves, parmesan cheese, almonds, basil, salt, and pepper. Process/pulse everything until it comes together and begins to resemble a paste. If necessary, scrape down the sides to bring everything together.
  • As you proceed, sprinkle the olive oil in gradually. To blend, you can also add the olive oil in smaller amounts. Taste it, and if more salt is required, add it.
  • Frozen food can be kept for up to a week in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
