Step 1

Add the parsley, nuts, parmesan cheese, garlic, coarse salt and two tablespoons of olive oil into a food processor.

Step 2

Blend the ingredients together in 5 second intervals until blended together, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula.

Step 3

Add the rest of the olive oil and the salt and pepper. Blend everything together until smooth, but there is a slight texture left (if you prefer - else blend until completely smooth), about 1 minute.

Step 4

Scrape down the bowl again ensuring everything is being incorporated.

Step 5

You may want to add more cheese, olive oil or seasoning to appeal to your palette.

Step 6

Spoon the pesto into a bowl and serve on crackers, bread, sandwiches, pizza, or other varieties.
