Instructions
- Step 1
Add all ingredients, except olive oil, to a food processor. Pulse until well combined, scraping down sides, as needed. With the food processor running on low, drizzle in olive oil.
- Step 2
Taste, adjust seasoning and serve with pasta or spread onto toast. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, top pesto with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent it from oxidizing and turning brown.
