How to Make Sauce Verdi

  1. Combine 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon pine nuts (toasted), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper in a food processor.
  2. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add 1-2 tablespoons of ice water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For a bolder garlic flavor, add more minced garlic.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. Serve chilled with your favorite vegetables, crostini, or pasta.
