Pulse a few times until ingredients are mixed and rough in texture. Slowly add the olive oil and continue to pulse until mostly smooth. Add the parmesan, pine nuts, and lemon juice. If the mixture seems too thick, add one additional tablespoon of olive oil at a time and process until your desired consistency is achieved.

Use pesto in pasta or just add to flatbread and top with tomato slices for a slice of pesto pizza.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
