Comments: Yields enough to sauce 2 pounds of pasta. You can use walnuts instead or ½ cup of each. Also, you can toast the nuts for a nuttier flavor.
Ingredients:
2 Cups basil, fresh firmly packed
Directions:
Process the basil, garlic, and nuts in a food processor fitted with a steel blade until finely chopped.

With the machine still running, pour in the oil in a thin steady stream. Add the cheeses, and the pepper. Process briefly to combine.

Remove to a bowl and cover until ready to use.
