Basil pesto recipe please?

[bigbobby]

I've never made one but I want to. I have fresh basil, garlic and olive oil. I have parmesan cheese, but i'm not sure if that's an ingredient. What are the measurements and what other ingredients do I need?

2cups fresh basil, half cup good EV olive oil, half cup parmesan cheese, half cup of either almonds or pine nuts (I like almonds), 2 cloves garlic (or more if you like it more garlicky). Put it all in a food processor, good blender, or bullet blender. I like the last one personally. Blast it until it's a sauce. Enjoy!

Per Person, 1/2 cup fresh basil, 1/8 cup EV olive oil, 1/8 cup of pine nuts or sunflower seeds (shelled!), 1/8 cup parmesan cheese (grated), 1 clove garlic, tsp lemon juice (fresh squeezed). Blitz in a blender until smooth.
