Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend until mostly smooth.

Pesto can be frozen for later use.
Recipe Tips
- Feel free to swap out greens for different flavors. You can use arugula, cilantro, kale or fresh mint.
- Instead of regular parmesan, opt for pecorino Romano which has a sharper flavor.
- Add a little lemon juice or lime juice for extra zing.
- Add some lemon zest.
