I developed this basil pecan pesto recipe over a summer of trial and error and prefer it to all other pesto recipes! I like the taste of pecans over pine nuts, which are often used in pesto recipes.

- 1.5 cups pecans
- 0.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cups olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
