Ingredientes
- 1 cups fresh basil leaves, stemmed [Keep a bunch of different herbs in the freezer for easy access]
- 1 cups fresh spinach leaves, stemmed [We keep a bag of spinach in the freezer for this reason alone]
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup EV Olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Dried Basil
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts [I picked up a small amount of Pine Nuts at Bulk Barn and they were $4!!! Walnuts will do just fine, but if you want that truly authentic flavor, treat yourself to the Pine Nuts]

- salt and pepper to taste
