Ingredients

  • 2 packed cups (2 ounces) basil leaves (about 2 bushy bunches)
  • 2 finely chopped tablespoons shallot

  • 1/2 cup mild/fruity extra-virgin olive oil

Recipe Notes

Put all of the ingredients into a blender and run until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides and run again, as needed.
