Ingredients

Instructions

Pull your dough out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before baking. Let it rest at room temp so it’s easier to stretch. Cold dough = stubborn dough.
In a food processor, combine basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. Pulse until it looks like a rough paste. Then stream in olive oil while blending until you get a smooth, vibrant green sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice if you’re feeling fancy.
