| hello, in what order do you folks combine/process ingredients (oil, nuts, basil, cheese, salt, garlic) for pesto? i wonder if there is a preferred method. i've heard that processing basil as little as possible is best for flavor, but i've never been able to detect a difference. you? |

| I put basil, cheese, nuts and garlic into the food processor. Pulse. Then turn on low and pour the olive oil in. I stir n salt and pepper by hand. |

| I don't add cheese (my cousins in Italy never do, that's where I learned to make it) My food processor recipe calls for: I like the idea of the basil and oil being added at the same time, so that the basil gets a coating, kind of the way you coat salad greens with oil before adding the vinegar or salt. |
