Ingredients

fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp - 1.5 oz Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 clove garlic
10 grams - 0.4 oz pine nuts
salt
extra virgin olive oil

What it concludes

Cutting the basil stalk instead of just picking leaves allows the plant to regrow within one to two weeks.
Blending extra virgin olive oil and garlic first prevents the blender from warming up too much and destroying the basil's benefits.
Blending pine nuts into the oil before adding basil helps achieve the best pesto consistency.
