2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts
2/3 cup extra virgin live oil
1/2 cup pecorino cheese (I use Parmesan since it's in my fridge anyway)

  1. combine basil, garlic, and pine nuts in blender and pulse until coarsely chopped
  2. add 1/2 cup of oil and blend till smooth
  3. if serving immediately, stir in additional oil and cheese now
  4. to store, drizzle remaining oil on top. Stir in the cheese after thawing
