Zubereitung von Pesto

Finely chop 2 cups of fresh basil leaves using a sharp knife or pulse in a food processor until finely minced.
Crush 1/2 cup of your choice of nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.) using a knife or pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Combine the chopped basil, crushed nuts, garlic, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.
Gradually add 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (or a mix of 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup white wine) while mixing thoroughly until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more olive oil for a thinner pesto, or more cheese for a richer flavor.
