Combine 2 cups packed fresh leaves, 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts, and 2 peeled garlic cloves in a food processor.

Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped.

Add 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Pulse briefly to combine.

Turn the food processor on and slowly drizzle 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil through the feed tube until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately over pasta or store in an airtight container.
