Steps:
- Combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and oil in a food processor and blend until a paste forms.
- Add the Parmesan cheese, Pecorino cheese, salt, and pepper and pulse until smooth.
- This is a crucial moment for your pesto, as you need to season with salt and pepper. Keep in mind that Parmigiano and Pecorino are both dry and salty cheeses, you have to taste your sauce a few times in order not to go overboard when you are seasoning it.
- Cover the pesto and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
- Mix the pasta and the pesto, serve garnished with some grated Parmesan (just a touch), fresh ground pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.

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.

BASIC PESTO
Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.
