How to make homemade Pesto

Start by gathering all the ingredients: olive oil, cheese, salt, pepper, pine nuts, fresh basil, and garlic cloves.

Add the garlic cloves to a bowl.

Measure ingredients by feel, adding olive oil and other ingredients gradually.

Chop fresh basil leaves to make blending easier.

Add pine nuts to the bowl with the other ingredients.

Blend the mixture until it reaches the desired consistency, adding more olive oil if necessary.

Taste the pesto and adjust ingredients as needed, adding more cheese or nuts if desired.

Serve the pesto with toppings like balsamic vinegar.
