Steps:
- Pick the leaves off of the stems. Discard any flower buds, stems or leaves that aren't in good shape. All we want are leaves; small, medium or large; as long as they are a healthy green, not brown or molding!
- Wash the basil. Just wash them in a large bowl under cold water, no soap!
- Chop the pine nuts and garlic in the food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender.
- Add the basil leaves, lemon, and olive oil and chop. Stuff the basil leaves (in small batches) into the food processor and chop them into the garlic, olive oil and pine nuts.
- Chop the mix until it forms a thick, smooth paste.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the food processor and blend! IMPORTANT NOTE: if you intend to freeze the pesto, leave the cheese OUT and add it when you thaw and use the pesto.
- Add 1 teaspoon of sugar or Splenda to the batch to bring the flavor alive. (Optional).
- The pesto will keep in refrigerator for about a week, or you can freeze it and it will last for 3 to 6 months.
- Serving? Most people serve it over pasta or use it to season fish and chicken dishes.

Steps:
- Using your processor pulse the basil, garlic and pine nuts.
- Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on.
- Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula.
- Add the grated Parmeasn cheese and lemon juice; pulse again until blended.
- Add salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Store pesto in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week, or in the freezer for about six months.
- Keep it looking fresh and green by covering the top with a thin layer of olive oil or with a sheet of plastic wrap directly on its surface; this will keep it from oxidizing and turning brown. If your pesto darkens in color, it will still taste good.
- I freeze it by dropping Tablespoons of it on a parchment paper, freezing it and storing in a zip lock bag in the freezer.
