Instructions
Add the walnuts, basil leaves, grated parmesan cheese, garlic clove, lemon zest, salt, and pepper into the food processor, close the lid, and pulse a few times to break down larger pieces.
Now that the pieces are smaller, process on low while pouring in the lemon juice. Once the lemon juice is added, next add the olive oil while it is still processing.
Pause to scrape down the sides and catch any ingredients that failed to hit the blade.
Continue processing until fairly smooth.
Enjoy with warm pasta or store in a container with a lid and place into the fridge for up to 4 days.
