Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet and cook until aromatic and golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Stir the nuts frequently to ensure even cooking. Remove from oven and let cool.

Step 2

Combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until the ingredients are well incorporated, about 15 seconds. Shut off the motor and scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the motor running, slowly add the 1/2 cup olive oil through the feed tube. Shut off the motor and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
