Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 2 cups tatsoi
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • ¼ cup pine nuts or walnuts
  • ¼ cup Parmesan or pecorino cheese grated
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • If you haven’t already, remove most of them stems from the leaves. Don’t worry about being too precise.
  • Throw everything but the olive oil in a food processor.
  • Turn it on and if you have the option to drizzle in the oil while the machine is running, add it slowly until the pesto is a spreadable consistency. If you don’t have the luxury of the feature, add one tablespoon of oil, blend, then add the rest as needed.
  • Salt to taste or add a little more cheese.
