Increase the speed to medium and add more olive oil until the desired consistency 
is reached. 

4.

 

Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve immediately. 

Note: If storing the pesto for any length of time, cover the sauce with a layer of olive oil to 
prevent oxidation, which could cause the basil to brown slightly.
