2 cups fresh basil, washed and destemmed
1 cup pine nuts
4 cloves garlic
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese or freshly grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
salt to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
cooked pasta of choice
Process the first six ingredients in a food processor until uniformly chopped. Gradually add the olive oil while the processor is running. You'll definitely want to taste and add things as needed. Consistency will be a fairly thick paste. Serve over hot pasta. Serves 4.
