Cook pasta according to package directions.


In your food processor, pulse chop...
2 tbsp pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, peeled
...until fine.


Add...
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
...and pulse until fine.


Through the feed tube, with the machine running, drizzle in....

... until well incorporated.
