1. Puree all the ingredients in a blender or in a food processor.

2. Or, if you want to do it the traditional way, pound the basil leaves, garlic, salt & nuts together with a mortar & pestle & then beat in the olive oil.

3. Use in soups or toss with hot pasta & serve as a main dish.

4. Smaller quantities make an ideal appetizer.

5. Will keep in the refrigerator or will freeze.
