Using a blender or food processor, grate enough Parmesan cheese to make one cup; add basil.<\/p>\n<p>2. Then add melted butter, followed by garlic, pine nuts and finally the oil.<\/p>\n<p>3. Allow each added ingredient to blend smoothly with the preceding ones, and let stand at least one hour.<\/p>\n<p>4. Prepare pasta according to package directions.<\/p>\n<p>5. Mix pesto with pasta fresh from the boiling water.  Do not add too much pesto, but allow each person a chance to adjust flavor to taste, by adding more pesto if desired.<\/p>\n<p>6. Leftover pesto will last for a quite a long while if refrigerated in a plastic container, but do not freeze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just got The Garlic Lover&#8217;s Cookbook back and wanted to share this recipe.
