Steps:
- Quickly blanch the basil. Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside near your stove. Fill a small saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Drop the basil leaves in the boiling water and blanch for 5 to 10 seconds or until wilted. Using tongs, transfer the basil leaves to prepared ice water to stop cooking.
- Dry the basil very well. Pick up the basil leaves and wrap them in paper towel and squeeze to wring out all the water.
- Make the pesto. Place the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade. With the processor running, slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil. Do not run the processor too long, you want to have a little bit of texture to your basil pesto.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Transfer the basil mixture to a small bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine. If needed add a little bit more extra virgin olive oil to mix.
- Use immediately or store for later (see notes for storage).

ARDOLINO-STYLE HOMEMADE PESTO
I love pesto, especially when its mixed with parmesan cheese. I think the cheese really enhances the flavor and changes the consistency.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325.
- Spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet and cook until aromatic and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let cool.
- Combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl of a food processor and pulse until ingredients are well incorporated, about 15 seconds. Scape down the sides of the bowl while pulsing, if necessary.
- With the food processor on, slowly add the olive oil through the feeding tube. You will have to adjust the amount of olive oil based upon the amount of basil used (it should have a thick consistency). When in doubt, start with less oil and add more.
- Turn off the food processor, add the cheese, and then pulse until incorporated. The mixture should come together and form a think paste.

BASIC PESTO
Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.
