Instructions: In the work bowl of a food processor with the metal blade or a blender, combine the basil and garlic. Pulse until the basil and garlic are very finely chopped. Add the salt and pine nuts and pulse several times. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream.

Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Using a spatula, fold in the butter and, when it has been incorporated smoothly, fold in the Parmesan cheese.

Set aside until ready to use. 8 servings.
