Ingredients:

1 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup pine nuts roasted in olive oil
1 cup olive oil
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic

Directions:

Place all ingredients except cream in a food processor or blender. Blend until well mixed, but not entirely smooth (mixture should still have some texture). Add cream (cream may be reduced slightly in a saucepan over medium heat, if you desire a thicker sauce). Serve over your favorite pasta.
