Place the cheese in a Cuisinart ® Food
Processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse a
few times, then process until the cheese is
finely grated; reserve.
With the machine running, add the garlic
through the feed tube. Process until finely
chopped. Turn the motor off, and add the
nuts, basil and pepper. Process until it begins
to form a paste. With the machine running,
slowly add the olive oil through the feed tube.
Continue to process until completely
combined.
Note: this is a thick pesto meant for pizza. If
you wish to use this recipe as a sauce for a
pasta dish, thin it out by adding more olive
oil in the last step.
This pesto also freezes very well.
