I'm not rating, as I used this recipe as a "jumping off" point, but then pretty much did my own thing. I thought I had 2 cups of basil, but turns out when I packed it, there really was only about 1 1/2 cups. And I used 4 really big cloves of garlic. And increased the pine nuts, olive oil and parmesan to 1/4 cup each. And then added a tablespoon of lemon juice, too. So, it really wasn't this recipe in the end, but it was yummy.

I've tried this one before (from Diana Shaw's cookbook), it's yummy. I must have signed that cookbook out of the library four times already. It's a great book. Thanks for sharing.
