I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Cheese, garlic & basil in TM 10-15 seconds on speed 8 - should be smooth - might need longer depending on the cheese you use!Add good lug of olive oil (about 100g for firm pesto, and up to twice as much for pasta consistency) speed 4 until combined.Add pine nuts and mix 10 seconds on
"Counter-clockwise operation" + 
"Gentle stir setting" (I don't like my pine nuts mushed up!)Firm pesto is great on toast with chopped tomatoes!You can also do a half batch.
Tip
My adaption to this is
elete 1 bunch of basil. Add equal amount of rocket and 1 Birdseye chilli. You can add more chilli, but this amount my kids eat no problems!This is great on pasta. The rocket gives it a great peppery taste and the chilli a little kick.
Other things I have done are added cashews or macadamias instead of pine nuts.
You can also add this to beschemal sauce in the EDC cookbook to pour over pasta.
You can also freeze it in an ice cube tray for use in pasta sauce!
