Step 1: Place garlic cloves, pine nuts, basil and parmesan cheese in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped, then process until it's the consistency you want. I like mine to have some texture.
Step 2: Add the lemon juice and olive oil, process briefly until combined.
Step 3: Remove to a bowl, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Depending on your cheese, it may not require any salt at all. Adjust olive oil as you see fit.
Step 4: If not being used immediately, it freezes beautifully. You can place in ice cube trays, then into a bag when cubes have frozen. Or simply put meal-sized portions into snack-sized baggies and freeze.
