How to Make Fields Of Green Pesto

Combine 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves (or a mix of 1 cup basil and 1 cup parsley), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup pine nuts (or walnuts), 2 cloves garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor.
Pulse until coarsely chopped.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until a smooth paste forms.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage (omit cheese when freezing).
