Briefly toasting the pine nuts adds depth without overpowering the basil, while pulsing the ingredients and adding oil gradually creates a smooth but lively sauce with balanced herbal, salty, nutty, and savory notes.
Transfer the pesto to an airtight container, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in small portions for up to 3 months.
Do not reheat the pesto directly. Bring it close to room temperature, then loosen it with a spoonful of warm water or warm pasta water before serving.
